A thread of retro referees

[Lady Whistledown]

Mr Kelvin Morton (Bury St Edmunds)

(pantomime BOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

 

[Barrel of Fun]

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

He oversaw my very first Albion defeat against Blackburn Rovers when they turned us over 3-0


Mr Paul Durkin (Portland)

The referee in my very first Brighton game in 1990 vs Millwall

He isn't retro, but whatever happened to Uriah Rennie? I remember almost crying when he led the teams out of the tunnel at Stoke/Coventry/Somewhere in the Midlands about 6 years ago.

He is retro now though. I assume he's retired.

Pierluigi Collina

Not as retro as some of the others posted, but that stare was disturbing..

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Mr Alf Buksh (Dollis Hill, North London)

Refereed our super FA Cup win vs Portsmouth in 1993

Mr Pierluigi Collina of Bologna

In that case, Uriah Rennie:

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Roger Kirkpatrick. Big mutton chop whiskers. Saw him dish out a massive bollocking to a player at the Goldstone with his face right in the players face. Then he took a step back and a huge smile spread across his face and the player burst out laughing. He had no trouble with that player for the rest of the game. Who needs cards?

 

[Storer 68]

Mr Jack Taylor (Wolverhampton) - England's finest referee who will officiate the World Cup Final between West Germany and Holland.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Scottish heavyweight refereeing champion Tiny Wharton.

Here he is exchanging pleasantries with the players at an Old Firm match

 

[The Large One]

Wendy Toms - in her Tim Henman-lookalike hairdo.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I'm no good at the picture posting lark but THIS is a must!

Gurnam Singh?
And please, no MR for that prat who's name sounds like a South London team.

 

[Ernest]

Who is that?

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

How can you forget Ron Challis ?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

A Mr Graham Poll (Tring) - infamous for giving Josip Simunic of Croatia 3 yellows before sending him off in the 2006 World Cup

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

I'm no good at the picture posting lark but THIS is a must!

Here you go, I give you Mr Roger Kirpatrick, a fine figure of a man

(Bum! Picture doesn't work! Find it yourself on Google)
