Eastern Daily Press 28th March 2013
Neville Chamberlain
Norfolk’s top referee gave decades of service to football
One of the country's premier football referees, Neville
Chamberlain, who has died peacefully in hospital aged 85,
was a former chairman of Norfolk Football Association.
Appointed to the Football League's list, he was widely praised
for controlling a 1972 World Cup match between Portugal and
Belgium in front of 130,000 fans.
He was often sent to Carrow Road to inspect the pitch in winter
but made many official appearances in matches too.
He ran the line in the F.A. Cup replay at White Hart Lane on
January 31, 1968 and raised the offside flag which led to
Joe Kinnear, of Spurs, and Brian Kidd, of Manchester United,
being sent off for fighting.
He was given one of the sport's highest honours in 1988 when he
became president of the National Association of Football League
Referees and Linesmen.
The Canaries fan, who lived at Old Costessey, near Norwich, said
when elected to the three year post as Norfolk F.A.'s chairman
in 1995
that he was determined to bring players and referees together
for seminars to discuss things instead of blaming each other.
His unrivalled experience and love of the professional and grass
roots game stood him in good stead.
'I still get as much enjoyment from both and this is a great
honour to be chairman of my county,' he said.
In May 2008, he was given a 50 year service award from the
National Referees' Association in recognition of his
contribution with the whistle and as an administrator. A few
weeks later at the North East Norfolk League's annual meeting,
he retired as secretary after 55 years but continued as
treasurer.
Born in Mundesley, he left school at 14 and worked as a clerical
officer for what became British Railways and did National
Service in the Royal Marines. He started playing for Mundesley
in 1947 but first took the whistle, aged 25, for a match against
Stalham in 1952. He officially took up refereeing in March 1953
when he joined the North Walsham branch of the Norfolk Referees'
Society, becoming chairman four years later.
He established a national record by chairing the county
committee for more than 31 years and was given life membership
at Carrow Road in November 1988. His rise through the ranks of
the provincial and Eastern League to Football Combination level
by 1961 and finally to the full football league by 1971 was
rapid.
After retiring, he became an assessor of referees from 1972 for
the Football League and the Football Combination and was founder
chairman of the Referees and Linesmen's Association. He was
secretary to the Combination for many years.
He reached the linesmen's list of the Football League and was
selected to officiate in Italy and at a European Nations Cup
Match in Portugal.
He organised charity tournaments including the Rodney Bell
Memorial to raise funds for good causes and was social secretary
of his local Royal British Legion branch.
He was married to Margaret for 41 years, who survives him, and
stepfather of Graham and Janine. He had grandchildren Sam and
Emma.

D. Lewis was Dennis
J. Yates was different to John H. Yates of Redditch
They spent a couple of years on the line list together
A.R. Jordan was Alan who was possibly listed as a supplementary
referee in error for 70-71
He was listed on the line list 67-68 to 74-75 but in 70-71 was
also on the supplementary list
