I don't know where Mr Brook hails from but if it were the same County FA as a certain SG1 referee then he could quote Tennyson and say " I come from haunts of Coote " though sadly, as all referees come and go, this Brook will not go on for ever.

I believe he's from the Hastings area of East Sussex.

If you want precision, I think you'll find it's St Leonards which is most certainly "the Hastings area".

Whistleblower,  Charlton have faced Bolton no less than 95 times, with Bolton generally having the best of things.

Carl Brook's two Roots Hall League matches were in the "behind closed doors" era. I have seen him at Portman Road thrice, resulting in 9 points, 12 goals scored, none conceded ...... so little criticism there. Before that I'd seen him several times in non-league and his elevation was not a surprise.
