A pioneer, a good referee and far too young. RIP

 

[Lenny Rider]

Very sad. A real trailblazer, and by all accounts a thoroughly nice bloke.

How many times, if ever, did he ref at the Albion in the FL?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

He certainly reffed us a few times. In fact I seem to recall we had quite a good record with him reffing us.

We met him once in The Three Fishes (i think) on a Saturday night in Shrewsbury after an Albion game and he had just refereed a game in the Premier League that day.
Lovely bloke, he was going out with the landlords daughter at the time.
Very sad news, he was a very fit bloke.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Very sad. Had a lot of deserved respect from players and fans alike.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There was a really good eulogy on radio 5 about half an hour ago.
He was much loved. RIP.
