Picture of a unknown referee at Portsmouth v Luton in April 1972. Norman Paget of Coventry was listed in the programme as referee but the pictured referee is not him:

Looks a bit like D J Biddle (?Derek or Donald?-can't remember) of Bristol

Yes, I would go along with Don Biddle of Bristol. Timing and geography are both correct for Don. A senior police officer if my recollections are correct.
One of my favourite refs of his time. A detective chief inspector I believe, specialising in finger prints.
