[edit] Career
He became a Football League linesman in 1979, and just two years later was promoted to the Referees List.
By the late 1980s he was frequently taking charge of top division games. He became a member of the new Premier League list for the 1992-93 season, taking charge of the game between Manchester United and Everton at Old Trafford on August 19, 1992, with the away side winning 3–0.[2]
His career climaxed with the 1993 FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley on May 15, 1993.[3] This tie went to a replay and he took charge of that match, also at Wembley, on May 20 of that year.[4] He is one of only a few referees (alongside Roger Milford, Jeff Winter and Alan Wiley) in recent times to be awarded control of an FA Cup Final without ever reaching international status. He had one more season on the list before retiring in 1994.
He has since been a referees' assessor during matches for the Football Association, especially FA Cup ties.[5][6]
