Clive Thomas

Howard Webb is the modern day version.
I remember that game well and the replay and also recall a time at goodison when he booked a 4 men in a wall defending a free kick when they never retreated to exactly 10 yards.
He also famously blew his whistle in the World cup when Brazil scored from a corner and disallowed it as time was up.
He loved the attention,just as the referee I mentioned at the beginning

Attention seeker big time

He is definitely the template that horrible bar stewards such as Poll , Clattenburg , Collina and Howard Webb were forged from , they thought/think they are far more important than they really are .... The best refs are the ones you don't notice , A quality none of those numbskulls have ever had

I don't think that was Clive Thomas who booked four in the wall for not retreating back, that was Peter Willis against Nottingham Forest on New Years Day 1979

Sorry New Years Day 1980 Brian Kidd scored and we won 1-0

I was there - and for the replay. One of my worst memories ever. I still hate the bast... from Treorchy.

thanks for reminding me of the worst memory of my youth.

The Brazilians have fond memories I'd wager.
