"Watch Classic Matches Again"

West Ham 0-1 Everton - 5th October, 1975.


In the introduction to the Big match I spotted my favourite referee of that era Roger Kirkpatrick who when marking a wall out used to pace out the ten yards , and sit on the ball till the wall moved back then he would throw it to the team awarded the free kick - no need for spray paint with him around a comical great Referee any one remember him?

He was a nutter and a [Poor language removed]!!!! Didn't realise he came from Leicester!
 

He was a pure entertainer, did you read how much he got paid compared with today's prima donas like Lee mason today for instance!
As soon as you mention Lee Mason your argument is getting stronger and stronger!!! I have to admit I used to hate the showy refs like Hill, Thomas and therefore Kirkpatrick but the current crop do my head in. Paid a fortune and I do not even think they have even played 5 a side with their mates!!!
