We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Paul Diamond over the weekend. It is with heavy hearts that we remember a man whose spirit, kindness, and generosity left an indelible mark on all who knew him — especially the Oxford Bulls community.
Paul was more than just a friend of the Bulls — he was family. From the moment he became involved with our team, Paul gave wholeheartedly. His unwavering support, encouragement, and genuine belief in our players made a lasting impact, and his legacy will forever be woven into the story of our club.
One of the most cherished memories we hold is our unforgettable trip to Liverpool. It was a dream come true for the team, filled with joy, laughter, and lifelong memories. That trip simply would not have been possible without Paul. He played a massive part in making it happen — working behind the scenes, offering help whenever it was needed, and doing so with such humility and warmth. He never asked for thanks, but his efforts meant the world to us. Our players still talk about that experience, and now, as we reflect on his passing, we know just how much it meant to him too.
Paul had a rare ability to make people feel seen, supported, and valued. His generosity wasn’t just financial — it was personal. He gave his time, his energy, and his heart. He believed in the power of community, in lifting others up, and in creating moments that matter. That belief is something we’ll carry with us always.
As we come to terms with this loss, our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Paul’s family and friends. We hope they find comfort in knowing the profound difference he made in the lives of so many — especially within our team. The Bulls are stronger, closer, and better because of him.
Rest in peace, Paul. Your memory lives on in every cheer from the sidelines, every goal celebrated, and every bond formed among our players. You will always be a part of the Bulls family — now and forever.
With love and gratitude,
The Oxford Bulls
