John McNabb: October 12th 1924 - August 22nd 2018

Born in Burnley John McNabb attended St. Mary's Roman Catholic School, leaving at the age of 14 to join the RAF "as soon as he was old enough" according to his son, John, and going on to serve in the 911 squadron as an airman first class with the Lancaster Bombers during the Second World War.

He never really spoke a lot about what went on in the war, said John (64) of his father, who died at the age of 93. Occasionally he'd tell you bits like how they'd all be at a bar, singling around a piano one night then the next night half of them weren't there. He went deaf because bombs are fairly noisy things, but when somebody mentioned to him that he could get a war pension, he was having absolutely none of it; he said he came home, a lot of them didn't.

After the war, John joined the Burnley Youth Organisation, scheduling football matches between the clubs and refereeing plenty of the games himself, which caught the eyes of the Burnley Referees Association of which he eventually became president, a position he held until his death. Bearing in mind he was quite young, he got rapidly promoted, John said of his father's refereeing career. He refereed from local league to the Lancs Amateur League, then to Lancashire Combination and the Northern Premier League. In the 1950s, he went on to the Football League and stayed until he was too old in 1971.

He got international "caps" - in 1966 he refereed East Germany v Romania and he refereed in UEFA so he got some other games in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Even when he finished he continued refereeing for children's games as a volunteer.

Honoured for 50 years of service to refereeing, John received a medal from The F.A. in 2005, presented to him at Turf Moor by former Scotland international and Manchester United manager, Tommy Docherty.

John married Alice Patricia in 1952 with the couple having John as well as three grandchildren - Harry, Olivia, and Rory. Always one for socialising, John was a member of Belvedere & Calder Vale Sports Club from its inception as well as a member of the Knights of St. Columba - becoming a knight in 1949 - and a season ticket-holder at Turf Moor.

He would go in the Vice Presidents Lounge until his legs got so bad that he wouldn't make it up and down the stairs John said of his father's time on the Turf. He was a Burnley lad, born and bred who would come up the Kettledrum - his local since the 1960s - and sit on a bar stool and chat away to his old mates.

He did a lot, did my dad; he went out and had a good time and met a lot of people along the way, John added. He told me last year that he'd thoroughly enjoyed life, and he had.

Obituary: Canon Kenneth Harris

Canon Kenneth Harris, who died on 22nd June, aged 89, had given a lifetime of service to Chester and its surrounding villages. This was recognised by the city’s awarding him The Order of the Gates in July 2003.

Kenneth was born, a twin, to Cyril Charles Harris and Josephine Harris (nee Watton) on 18 July 1928. The boys, sadly, contracted pneumonia when they were about six months old, and the elder twin, Dennis, died. Kenneth had an elder brother, Cyril (1926), and was later joined by Brian, in 1933, and Margaret, in 1939.

The illness continued to trouble Kenneth well into his teenage years. His schooling at both Victoria Road and Love Street Schools was frequently interrupted by bouts of serious illness. His apprenticeship at the Chester company of Brookhurst Switchgear had to be abandoned, and his doctor declared that he must seek employment in less confined conditions.

In 1944, however, he began a second apprenticeship at the Hydraulic Engineering Company (H. E. Co.), where his father was the chief draughtsman and where his grandfather, Charles Alfred Harris, had begun the family’s connection with the company, and the City of Chester, on taking up an appointment as Outside Erector at H. E. Co. in 1901. Kenneth settled well into work at H. E. Co. and, apart from a brief spell at John Summers’ Steel Works, spent 40 years of his working life there, ending that career as the managing director of the company.

Kenneth’s connection with the Church began at a very early age at All Saints Hoole, Chester, where his father served for many years as a churchwarden and, later, a Reader. Two particular organisations claimed Kenneth’s devoted interest. The first was the children’s church, where week by week as many as 80 young people met to praise God with a simplified form of matins. When the leader left and no adult was willing to take on the responsibility, teenage Kenneth was put in charge; the group continued to flourish and was still meeting some 15 years later. The second was the 2nd Chester Boys Brigade; Kenneth was associated with this for some 34 years, the final 14 as Captain. Many men in Hoole today remember the influence that this company had on their lives and the great fulfilment it brought them; they have very fond memories of the annual camp.

Leadership of the Boys Brigade brought involvement with the Chester Youth Council and a wider sphere of youth work. In 1972, Kenneth was appointed a Justice of the Peace; for many years he served on the Juvenile Panel, and was for a time its chairman.

From early adulthood, Kenneth received a call to the ordained ministry. His lack of formal education, mainly the result of enforced absence from school owing to illness, was regarded as a severe drawback; he received much discouragement. When the North West Ordination Course of Training for the self supporting ministry was introduced, the Bishop of Chester, Gerald Ellison, recognised Kenneth’s deep spirituality, practical abilities, and leadership qualities and had no hesitation in recommending him for training.

Kenneth was ordained deacon at Michaelmas 1972 and priest the following year. As an NSM, he served curacies at the Holy Ascension, Upton, and at Eccleston and Pulford, where he was given special responsibility for Pulford. He derived great fulfilment from these appointments and his ministry was much appreciated.

In 1980, Bishop Victor Whitsey asked Kenneth to go to the parish of Hargrave as Priest in Charge, and to live in the very run-down vicarage. After discussion, he and his wife, Jean, agreed to go. They set about not only renovating the house, but also reviving the parish. Very soon, Kenneth had a sizeable congregation and an active parish with a lively social side. Bishop Whitsey appointed Kenneth as Vicar the following year, though, of course, he was still in the self supporting ministry.

In 1984, Bishop Michael Baughen asked Kenneth whether he might be interested in the post of Executive Officer of the Diocesan Board of Social Responsibility, a full time paid post. At that very time, the owners of H. E. Co. were in the process of selling the company. Although Kenneth’s position there was secure, he knew that changes were imminent; so, after discussions with Jean, he decided to accept the post, should it be offered. Kenneth held this position for some ten years, while remaining Vicar of Hargrave. This service to the diocese was recognised by Kenneth’s appointment to an honorary canonry of Chester Cathedral in 1991.

When Kenneth retired from full-time ministry in 1994, he continued to officiate with the Bishop’s permission, but it was not long before he was asked to take on further responsibility. From 1996 to 1998 he cared for the parish of Ashton Hayes and, from 1998 to 1999, for Alvanley, giving them the same dedication as he had shown in all his appointments. His commitment never faltered.

This outline of Kenneth’s working life reveals a man of great energy and capacity for hard work, but there is more. Kenneth was always a keen sportsman.

He was goalkeeper for the school team at Love Street and, for many years, kept wicket for the Boys Brigade cricket team. Later on, he took to refereeing football matches and his skill and fairness is still recognised by the ageing players whom he controlled in the local league. He did not stop at the local level, however, but went on to qualify as a football league linesman; he had a highly successful career there, too, not only in this country, but also running matches in Europe. He might well have become a football league referee, but he had begun too late: by the time he was considered, he had almost reached that profession’s retirement age.

Kenneth was a dedicated family man. He and Jean were a loving couple and their family testifies to their devotion. Jean worked actively wherever Kenneth served, and she took a full share in parish life.

Kenneth will be very much missed by his large family; his children, Dennis, Anne, and Jacqueline, with their spouses, and his many grandchildren. They will all miss the towering presence of this loving and inspiring patriarch.

Former Darwen professional referee dies

5th July 2017

Photo - referee Ray Chadwick gets ready to officiate a match in his pomp

A football referee who rose from the ranks of local league matches to officiating at big games throughout Europe has died aged 82

18th March 1935 - 28th June 2017

Ray Chadwick, from Darwen, who died after a short illness, developed his interest in football as a youngster when he played in the Darwen League.

He worked at Shaws Newsagents on Railway Road before buying the business.  His wife, Marina, whom he married in 1958, and father to Garry and Pam, ran the shop while Ray pursued his refereeing career, even though he initially refused!

One of his favourite stories was when Leeds and Scottish international Joe Jordan once threw himself horizontally two-footed off the ground right under Ray’s nose. He initially blew up for dangerous play, but as the ball flew into the top corner, and the Elland Road crowd went wild he decided that his whistle was just perfect to signal not a free-kick, but a goal!

He was also the man in the middle at the infamous game between Derby and Fulham at the old Baseball Ground. Fulham needed victory at Derby to stand any chance of winning promotion to the First Division; Derby needed all the points to be sure of avoiding relegation to the Third. At half-time, the game was goalless but the 21,142 crowd were very tense. It was Ray who complained to police that not only was the linesman on the Pop Side covered in spit, he had also been struck by a salt cellar thrown from the home crowd.

And in another memorable moment, he was once running the line at a big League match with a ref who was overbearing and officious. He made the mistake of wagging his finger at the other linesman at the half-time break. The lad picked him up and slammed him against the changing room wall. He explained very carefully that ex-Barnsley miners don’t take too kindly to that kind of admonition.

As well as football, he was a keen athlete and helped to organise early triathlon events in Darwen in the mid-80s. Marina won the second one held in 1985.

A requiem mass will be held at St Joseph’s at 10.45am today, followed by interment at Darwen Eastern Cemetery. Mourners are asked to wear brightly-coloured football shirts.

Tributes as former Poole mayor and councillor Les Burden dies

4th January 2023

by Andrew Goldman, Bournemouth Daily Echo

Tributes have been paid to a former mayor of Poole who served his community for more than 20 years.

Les Burden, who proudly served the Creekmoor ward as a councillor 1999-2019, died peacefully at home on Thursday 29th December 29, aged 85.

‘Actions not words’ was the mantra of Cllr Burden, who also served as sheriff of Poole and town mayor 2003-2005 – roles he described himself as “deeply honoured” to have held for the town he called home.

Born in Weymouth in June 1937, Les moved to Poole as a child and attended St. Aldhelm’s, Courthill and Poole Grammar School. He spent 39 years as a football referee, rising to Football League level and was president of Poole & East Dorset Referee Society for 25 years.

A career highlight for Les came in 2004 when Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh were in Poole to open the RNLI Lifeboat College, and Les was seated beside the Queen for the luncheon.

Following his retirement as a councillor in 2019, Les remained an active member of the Poole/Cherbourg Twinning Association and visited Cherbourg on several occasions over the years. He also raised tens of thousands of pounds for charities and local groups, including the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and Chestnut Nursery. He was also a former Chairman of the Society for Poole.

Les is survived by his wife of more than 50 years, Mary Rose "RoRo".

Fred Lindop: Former rugby league referee dies, aged 84

Former rugby league match official Fred Lindop, who refereed the 1970 World Cup final, four Challenge Cup finals and many Test matches, has died aged 84. Lindop, who was part of the Wakefield society of referees, famously took charge of the 1980 all-Hull Challenge Cup final - won by Kingston Rovers. His final game was the 1988 final between holders Halifax and Wigan, and he received the MBE a year later.

"Fred was a role model for me, current referee Ben Thaler said. He will go down as one of the greatest officials to ever grace the game of rugby league. His contribution to the sport goes well beyond that of a referee, inspiring many young players through the amateur clubs of Eastmoor and Oulton, as well as his dedication to moving officials to a new level - he really was a one-off."

His work as a coach at local clubs Eastmoor, Oulton and with the University of Sheffield were all part of his wider contribution to the sport.

"Following the sad loss of David Oxley, the sport of rugby league will again be united in paying tribute to Fred Lindop for his immense contribution," Rugby Football League chair Simon Johnson said. He showed remarkable longevity as a referee, earning respect from players and admiration from supporters and television viewers, as he became a familiar figure on the BBC on winter Saturday afternoons."

I Spy Old Refs! / Dennis Hinsley
« on: Tue 24 Jan 2023 10:11 »
Dennis Alexander Hinsley died 13th January 2023 in Cheltenham aged 91

Birth Q4 1931 Tetbury, Glos

Marriage Q1 1963 Cheltenham, Glos (Gillian A. Major)

They lived in Jersey for 35 years during which time he became the only "local" to referee the Muratti (other than the initial match in 1905) on 9th May 1977 in Guernsey.

Jack Taylor (Wolverhampton) the World Cup Final referee in 1974 was initially appointed but was unable to officiate.

Jim Bent (Hemel Hempstead) was the replacement but his flight was fog bound in England.

Hinsley as senior linesmen took over the whistle as Jersey ran out 5-1 winners (Brent Pitman 2, Peter Fleury 2, Alan Pitman; Peter Blondel)

Bent was re-appointed to the match the following year, again on Liberation Day, when Guernsey won 2-0 at Springfield (Nigel Le Page 2)

Hinsley was an electrician who worked for Metro Vending and the Jersey Electricity Company

General Discussion / White Card
« on: Mon 23 Jan 2023 07:53 »
Referee makes history by showing first ever white card during the Benfica v Sporting Lisbon Women's Cup tie (Rob Swan)

The card was shown by a referee in charge of Saturday’s clash between the rivals and the sight of the white card looked bizarre.
The new card was shown shortly before half-time of the women’s fixture in Portugal. Benfica were 3-0 up when the ref pulled the white card out
and brandished it in the same way a match official would a yellow or red card. Someone in the dugout fell ill at the end of the first half.
Medical staff from both sides subsequently rushed to the person’s aid. Once the issue was dealt with, the referee then brandished the white card.

White cards are designed to recognise and praise clubs for fair play. Part of a new initiative in Portugal, the hope is that a white card
encourages ethical values in sport. On this occasion, the white card appears to have been shown in the direction of the medical staff
who were quick on the scene to treat to the person in the dugout. The white card provides immediate recognition for a positive act
during a football match. While the initiative isn’t widespread yet, it’s part of a series of new introductions in football.
