I was watching the tributes to Franny Lee on the NW news tonight. Four referees featured in FL incidents:
FL engaging in a fight with Norman Hunter. Referee was definitely Derek Nippard from Dorset
FL demonstrating George Best 'diving' in an incident which led to him being booked for fouling George. Back view of referee only, but as he was adjusting his lock of hair at the time, I'm sure it had to be Ray Tinkler of Boston.
FL scoring a great goal for Derby, I think the ref was John Gow of Swansea but I cannot be sure
FL scoring a penalty. The referee (on the right side of the diagonal) was bent over almost horizontal with the pitch, not something you would see now. I think it could have been John Hunting of Leicester but again cannot be sure.
Memories of one of England's football greats. RIP Franny.
