Come on then, those of you moaning about modern day officials, you don't know you're born

Let's have some retro referees. As per the traditional rules of football programmes, you have to call them Mr, and you have to state their home town in brackets. I can't tell you how many small towns I've noted in passing simply because it was the home of a referee. Funny how they don't do that any more...

Mr Roger Milford (Bristol)
1980s refereeing icon, famous for his grey permed mullet and desire to be one of the boys.

And how about

Mr Philip Don (Harrow)
Posh headteacher, subject to many a newspaper pun relating to his profession.

Who is that?

Following HKFC's last post, I suppose there should be room for Mr John Terry (Barking)

Crikey - how could I forget. Barry Davies used to go on and on and on and on and on about that. I bet those two got on like a house on fire

Mr Gottfried Dienst (Basle) and his sidekick Mr Tofik Bakhramov (Baku).



They had the right idea!

Anyone remember Mr Reg Knew in the 60's? A little man who seemed always to upset the Goldstone faithful. No idea of home town but he certainly was not a homer.
