And in honor of the club’s CEO Steve Kavanagh, staff and a couple of Paul’s friends will be lions in lycra as they cycle 53 miles from Tower Bridge to Brighton’s boardwalk for the British Heart Foundation on 11 June.
The club wrote: “Paul always managed to see the bright side of any tough situation and we will take just that attitude when we go on this challenging bike ride.”

Jiggins first joined The Sun in 1990 as a messenger before rising through the ranks to become a staff writer.
He quickly became one of the sharpest writers in the industry and kept readers entertained with his Week at the Knees column and witty intros.
In addition to covering Tottenham, Jiggo shed light on his beloved Millwall’s work and had recently hosted the club’s official podcast WallTalk.
Since his death, former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, England manager Gareth Southgate, Three Lions’ captain Harry Kane and the FA have all paid tribute.
Millwall renamed their media suite after Jiggo and held a minute of applause in memory of Swansea on 5 April.
Sun Sports Director Shaun Custis said after the announcement of Jiggo’s death: “We are all deeply saddened by Paul’s passing.
“He was an immensely popular member of The Suns sports team, who had a special talent for entertaining readers.
“He was also a good friend of the press group that covered Spurs with him and he will be greatly missed in Millwall, the club that was so close to his heart.
“The tributes that have poured in from all over the country say it all.”
