An interesting one John. I recall we had a discussion on the old RTR ISOR about Mr Judson disappearing off the scene part way through the 1971/2 season. MIght this injury have been the reason why (in the same way as A Dimond and P Crossley, although Phil did return to the list to complete his career). And might Bradford City v York have been Ron's swansong on the list? I could add him to my database of last games if it was. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Yes Lynch was a "proper" ref but was there as a spectator

That is the last game he was definitely in charge of. He is listed as referee in the programme for Chesterfield-Plymouth on 30.10.1971 but whether he actually refereed the game is unknown. He was also appointed two weeks later for the Man Utd-Tottenham game but was definitely replaced for that game by john Hunting. Thereafter he doesn't seem to have refereed another League game but does seem to have been a referee assessor (possibly a senior one) for the Football League in 1977. He died in 1984.

As regards his injury at the Bradford City game, his replacement Alan Bradley of Church, Accrington was later a linesman for the last-ever Amateur Cup Final in 1974 after which he retired. Greater fame came to him after refereeing when he met Rita on Coronation Street

I do remember Andy Davies replacing Jarnail Singh in an AFCB game when he was still an AR. Mr Singh had not endeared himself to the home or away crowd at the time and Andy both entered and exited the pitch to a standing ovation from both sets of fans!  Andy told me many years later that it was one of his most surreal moments at a football match!!

28th December 2009
L2 AFCB v Torquay

I always remember a league cup game between WBA and Arsenal where Trevor Massey got injured so had to be replced at half time. Dermot Gallagher happened to be in the stands watching so became 4O only for Matt Messias to get a calf strain in the second half. Fortunately, after treatment, he managed to carry on but I think that might have been the closest a top flight game came to having two officials go off injured?

There was a Premier League game with three referees.  Details are vague ... I believe it was an evening game, the late Ian Mitchell was involved and it might have involved Crystal Palace (but then it might not).  Can anyone fill in the (considerable) gaps?

It was Tottenham v Sheffield United, September 1992. Howard King was the appointed referee but withdrew late due to flu. Media reports suggest that Ian Mitchell refereed most of the game before himself succumbing to flu and being replaced by the other assistant but I think the reports may have got them the wrong way around with Mitchell replacing Pearson. Whatever the case the assistant who completed the game sent off Sheffield Keeper Simon Tracey for a second caution. There is footage of that incident below and anyone familiar with either Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Pearson or both can judge who issued the red card:

Fri 17.12.1971

Tranmere Rovers v Rochdale, Div. 3

Programme printed with Keith Styles as the referee but crossed out and Harry New written in

Unclear as to why, printers error or illness/injury

Quite northerly for Harry who was at Bristol at the time
