British man who wrestled shark fired from his job

LONDON (AP) - A 62-year-old British man who became an Internet sensation after wrestling with a shark on an Australian beach says he was fired after his employer discovered he'd been abroad while on sick leave.

Paul Marshallsea was filmed yanking a six-foot- (1.8-meter-) long shark away from waders at Caloundra beach near Brisbane in January.

But his intervention also caught the eye of his employer, the Pant and Dowlais Boys & Girls Club, a Welsh charity. Marshallsea had been on leave since April after saying he was suffering from work-related stress.

That is hardly "wrestling." More like Brooking touching a RB as he speeds by.

Love it. He's showing a typical Western European behaviour. I would have kicked him out too.
