http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-21753342A charity worker has been sacked after his bosses saw footage of him wrestling a shark in Australia while he was on sick leave for stress.
Paul Marshallsea, 62, from Merthyr Tydfil, grabbed the shark by the tail as it swam towards children and dragged it to deeper water off Bulcock Beach.
His story made headlines across the world and lifeguards praised him.
He has been sacked by the Pant and Dowlais Boys and Girls Club which blamed a "breakdown" of confidence.
If he's on sick leave for work related stress, what would they want him to do, stay at home and don't go out?
