In 1985-86 there were 88 Referees & 305 Linesmen, a total of 393

I will attempt to research the first names but I am hoping the forum expertise might be able to provide some of them!



Any chance of an updated list please, or at least a list of those still unconfirmed ?

300 Geoffrey 'Geoff' Pearson, agreed yes, another Surrey colleague in former days. However, he did not get on to the referees list and I'm wondering whether you're thinking of Roger Pearson of Peterlee who did make it on to the list.

You are, of course, right.  Its not a conflation of Pearsons, just a failing of (one's own) memory.
