An RE teacher at a £15,000-a-year private school who falsely claimed to be an Oxford don and an ex-teammate of England rugby legend Will Carling has been banned from the classroom for life.
Private detectives were called in to investigate the stellar CV of Paul Elliott, 53, who concocted a web of lies stretching back to 1988.
Among his bogus achievements was a claim that he represented 'North' in a famous rugby match against Australia during the Wallabies' tour of the UK that year.
