Paul Sackey
Paul Henry Sackey (born 8 November 1979) is a retired English rugby union footballer who played on the wing, most recently for Harlequins in the Aviva Premiership.
He is an England international. He has also played for the England Saxons and the England Sevens team.
He is of Ghanaian heritage and attended the Roman Catholic John Fisher School in Purley.[citation needed]
Born on 8 November 1979 in Lambeth, London, Sackey started playing rugby at 17, when he was a pupil at the Roman Catholic John Fisher School in Purley, and started out as a centre or fullback. His pace earned him an immediate call up to the school's 1st XV and he was a member of their Sevens team that won the Rosslyn Park Nationals Sevens tournament two years running.
Sackey was spotted by a Wasps scout, and went on to play for Wasps U19s and U21s. Andy Gomarsall took Sackey on a sevens trip to Lisbon and, realising his potential, arranged his move to Bedford. While at Bedford he was called up to the England under-21 squad that played in the under-21 World Cup in New Zealand, before signing professional forms with London Irish and joining them in August 2000. That year he also played for the England Sevens team in Argentina.
He topped the London Irish try scoring list in the 2000–01 Zurich Premiership, and in four years scored 43 tries in 121 Premiership appearances. He played for London Irish when they beat Northampton Saints 38–7 in the 2002 Powergen Cup final.
He left London Irish in February 2005 to return to Wasps and was immediately drafted into the 1st team squad, where he played on the wing in their victorious 2004–05 Zurich Premiership final against Leicester Tigers.
Sackey started against Leicester Tigers in the final of the 2006–07 Heineken Cup. Sackey won the League title for a second time during the 2007–08 Guinness Premiership.
