Wales' 41st captain, he led us in his final three caps in 2003.

Qualifying for Wales through parentage, Paul Atcheson started off at St Helens community side Blackbrook, but after that spent all bar two years of his playing career at the highest level, making over 300 first class appearances, 153 of them in Super League. A Championship winner with Wigan in 1993-94, he played in their 1994 World Club Challenge win over Brisbane Broncos later that year, as well as playing in their Regal Trophy Final win in 1995.
