Paul Holmes began the 2000-01 campaign at right back for Torquay but eventually lost his place to Steve Tully before returning to the line-up later in the season when he took over at left back from the injured Robbie Herrera.

He struggled at times to find his best form but was an experienced performer who had good pace and kicked well with either foot.

Paul could play in either full back position, as a sweeper or in a wide midfield role.
