Missing forenames for English linesmen officiating English clubs
in Europe
DIR By: Ted Best 2
Date: October 21, 2020, 2:09 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if anyone can help with the following?
Below is a list of officials where English linesmen were used in
a European club competition match involving English clubs. I am
looking for the missing forenames (in BOLD). The information was
obtained from the match programmes. In some cases there isnt a
lot to go on especially where the town of residence wasnt
recorded.
All matches with the exception of the two Wolves games are from
the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where in the early days local
officials often assisted a neutral appointed referee.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for the replies.
I've done a bit of digging and found a couple of things on the
internet for G. Earnshaw (Huddersfield), which, assuming this is
the linesman in question, confirms his forname as Geoff. He
passed away in 2011, aged 85.

Having recognised the name of Ron Hounsell as a past training
officer of my old referees society, I thought I would have a
look in the 50th Anniversary book that was compiled back in
1999.
Mr Hounsell was the training officer of the North Middlesex
Referees Society from 1958 - 1978. The first training officer
from 1949 - 1958 was one A.J. Stewart, and the game above in
1965 was listed in the "plum appointments" section of said book.
His first name being Arthur
