Gilbert Napthine?
Now there is an interesting character from the past.


Saw Napthine only once, at Highbury. He had a very good match I seem to recall. Being located in the middle of England ( Loughborough ) wasn't he one of that band of referees who officiated at every League ground in the country?

I wonder which team he supported.  I don't recall seeing him at OT but I'm sure he must have refereed there.
This from 2013:

Maybe not at OT, but I certainly saw him referee Palace v Man Utd at Selhurst Park in Sept 1985, League Cup 2nd rd 1st leg which Utd won 1-0. He had a good game. Vic Callow refereed the 2nd leg which I also saw and which Man Utd won 1-0 again.
