Referee tells funny story about Chesterfield v Sunderland



It’s one of my pet hates at talk ins you can tell all of their stories have either grown Peter Crouch style legs or are just full on bollocks yet everyone laps it up. It’s up there with Sol Campbell being racially abused at Roker Park.
 
My Dad had some great stories of when he was a Ref.

One that come's to mind was when he told me about a game that involved a copper playing. He booked the copper for a bad foul and as the copper walked away, the copper shouted, "REF! next time I see you on the road, I'm going to book you for speeding". My dad shouted back, " Come here son". When the copper came over my dad said "Look, you may be the law off the field, but while you are on the field, I am the law", then showed him a second yellow, then red. It made me feel really proud of him. :lol: :D
Was your dads initials EB?
