Mr Tomlin was quite the joker. Mr Penton, much quieter, both v likeable
I know Steve Tomlin very well… a firefighter by trade.
When I was a young lad he’d always get me autographs of all the officials he worked with.
I have a pristine autograph from Victor Callow when they did a match at Spurs.
Steve also did a cup final at Wembley in 1999 with Heibron.
His work meant that he was early on the scene of the Brighton Bombing in 1984 and helped to rescue a number of the victims. As a referee he always had a smile on his face and a positive attitude. His spell on the FL middle was due reward for persistence throughout a long career. I lined with him and for him on many enjoyable occasions.
