Paul Cullen (born 4 March 1963) is an English professional rugby league football coach and former player. He currently holds the position of Director of Rugby at Widnes of the Super League after being the club's head coach prior to promotion from the Championship. Cullen previously coached Warrington as well as the England national team. He also provides commentary for Sky Sports rugby league coverage.
Paul Cullen joined Warrington in 1980, where he stayed for 17 years. He played mainly in the centre position at the club. Nicknamed "psycho", despite limited attacking flair, Cullen had an aggressive defence which made him a crowd favourite.
Paul Cullen played Stand-off/Five-eighth in Warrington's 16–0 victory over St. Helens in the 1982 Lancashire County Cup Final during the 1982–83 season at Central Park, Wigan on Saturday 23 October 1982, and played Centre, i.e. number 3, in the 8–34 defeat by Wigan in the 1985 Lancashire County Cup Final during the 1985–86 season at Knowsley Road, St. Helens, on Sunday 13 October 1985.
