Arthur Ellis was often appointed to internationals and was allowed to choose his own lines, he often took his younger brother Frank, whose next "best" appointment was a Charity Shield line in 1964

Sir Francis Marindin's obituary appeared in The Times on Tuesday 24th April 1900
Colonel Sir Francis Arthur Marindin, K.C.M.G., R.E. (Retired), Senior Inspecting Officer of Railways, Board of Trade, who died on Saturday at 3 Hans Crescent, London S.W., was born at Weymouth on May 1, 1838. He was the second son of the late Rev. S. Marindin, of Chesterton, Shropshire, and of Isabella, daughter of Andrew Wedderburn Colville, of Ochiltree, Craigflower, Fife.
He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and entered the Royal Engineers in 1854. From 1860 to 1863 he was A.D.C. and Private Secretary to Sir William Stevenson, Governor of Mauritius, during which period he was also employed on special duty in Madagascar. From 1866 to 1868 he was Adjutant at the Chatham School of Military Engineering, and in 1869 was appointed Brigade Major. In 1872 he obtained his majority, and, after vacating his Staff appointment at Chatham in 1874, he joined the Board of Trade in 1877 as an Inspecting Officer of Railways. In 1879 he retired from the Royal Engineers as a Major, but later renewed his association with the Army as an honorary colonel in the Engineer and Railway Volunteer Staff Corps, which is entirely composed of high officials connected with railway affairs and administration.
As an inspecting officer of railways it fell to Sir Francis Marindin, in the earlier days of his connexion with the Board of Trade, to examine the permanent ways, bridges, stations, and signals of many new railways and branch lines, and subsequently to hold inquiries on a number of accidents. In 1891 one of these enquiries revealed an iniquitous system of overworking railway employees, a goods guard having been crushed to death between the buffers of two wagons while in a state of physical collapse after being on duty for over 22 hours at a stretch. Major Marindin's strongly worded report on this incident led to the appointment of a Select Committee of the House of Commons and to a notable improvement in the conditions under which railway servants were worked.
Again, after the terrible Thirsk accident of November 2, 1892, Major Marindin declared most forcibly that it was the duty of all railway companies to adopt some combination of mechanical and electrical appliance which would make such an accident impossible unless the driver deliberately ran past fixed signals. He also urged the engagement of relief signalmen, and the importance of housing the men near their work. By this repeated plain speaking, coupled with a complete mastery of his subject and great discriminating capacity Major Marindin originated several most important railway reforms, besides keeping the lines throughout the country continually aware that the office at 8, Richmond Terrace, Whitehall, was not likely to allow irregularities to remain long unnoticed.
In 1887 Major Marindin, having rendered important services in connexion with the Egyptian State Railways, was made a C.M.G., and in 1897, on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee, was promoted to the Knighthood of the Order.
Sir Francis Marindin married, in 1860, a daughter of Sir William Stevenson, K.C.B., on whose personal staff he served three years in Mauritius.

Sheffield Telegraph 13th January 1915
A. Warner (Nottingham) promoted to full F.L. referees list, C. Illsley (Smethwick) and T. Shorttle (Middlesbrough) added to the supplementary list
Presumably to fill vacancies caused by others joining the armed services
Alf Warner only appeared on the F.L. list in 1914-15 but received many F.A. appointments - 1914 & 1922 Amateur Cup Finals & 1921 Charity Shield
Charles Illsley was listed for three of the four war seasons and the first post war season and received a Birmingham Long Service medal in 1932
But Shorttle was never listed in Upton because he only appeared at the top level for this half a season
An unusual family name but John (1836-1904) and his four sons - John, James, Michael and Thomas soon remedied that, at least in Middlesbrough
They, like many others, were averse to officially registering births which only gained widespread acceptance from the 1870s
Thomas, the youngest, born 1868/9, was evidently a good all round sportsman, being a regular in the Middlesbrough cricket team and often appearing at the top end of their bowling averages from 1895 onwards
He married Margaret Garritty (1875-1965) in 1898 and they further promoted the Shorttle name with their last child born in 1914
He also must have been officiating in local football as he was on the F.L. line list by 1901-02 (Sunderland v Manchester City 07.09.1901)
In 1905 he was on the line for the Amateur Cup semi-final at nearby Stockton
He continued on the F.L. lines until 1915 when he had his "15 minutes of fame" - in the middle for Manchester United v Bradford City 13.03.1915 and Leeds City v Nottingham Forest 10.04.1915
He did not re-appear the following season, even locally, so perhaps he retired at the top aged 46/47 or war work claimed his attentions.
Shorttle re-appears in the 1930s competing in the Middlesbrough Bowls Singles Tournament until 1940 when aged 71/72
He died in 1954 aged 85, with his wife living for a further 11 years before dying just short of her 90th birthday in 1965

Although he was old, he was not quite that old.
They are 7 years out as he was born 30th March 1855 so was 65 when he refereed the 1920 Olympic final
The Czechs objected to his decisions and walked off so received no medals at all as the Bronze Medal match was still to be played and that was upgraded to a play-off for silver and bronze
He had left the league list at 50 in 1905 having only refereed one international (in 1898) but did two in the last months of his last league season and three more soon after that ending initially with the 1908 Olympic final before adding the semi-final and final in 1920.
He also refereed the (Sherriff of London's) Charity Shield in 1902
He had started off as a player for Darwen before moving down the hill to help set up Blackburn Rovers

Ron Crabb, Derek Civil & George Nolan (Stockport)
Chelsea & Wolves drew again at Molineux in the penultimate game of the season and went up as the top two
Nottingham Forest crept in to the third promotion place by a point from Bolton & Blackpool - I wonder if they managed to survive at the higher level ? !!!
