He looks a bit more svelte this season!
I saw Jon Moss in his record shop a couple of weeks ago. He's
certainly not 'fat'.
Brett Huxtable has a Pizza Trophy game next week, all the way up
in Burton, bizarrely.

Surely having a cup competition sponsored by a Pizza firm is not
going to help reduce the levels of body fat in match officials
:)

Same lack of coherent thinking as evident in gambling
sponsorship.

Is there any record of what the parameters are? Body fat % shows
remarkably different physical results on different frames and
natural ‘normal’ levels range wildly across different people, so
it’s always struck me as a fairly poor indicator of fitness.

I would argue it's no indicator of fitness whatsoever, when you
can pass the fitness test (and therefore by definition be deemed
fit enough to do the games) but then not be offered games
because of how you look.
I might even suggest it's illegal.....

Hmmmm.. calling Kettle elegant seems a bit far fetched!

Jon Moss certainly is not fat; that is quite correct. He appears
to be rather barrel chested which means that he will never
present as pencil thin but that is due to bone structure not fat
deposits.
M'learned friend is absolutely right to point out that fitness
to referee is not determined by body fat ratio. Of course the
pace of the game was slower in years gone by but a very good
referee from yesteryear was Sheffield's Michael Lowe and he
certainly carried a fair bit of timber. With them both coming
from Sheffield, I used to maintain that Lowe was a far better
referee than the equally full-figured Hackett. Sadly for Lowe my
opinion was not shared by the powers that be who seemed to
invest a huge amount in Hackett who, in my opinion, was never
more than an average referee.

I think had that been rigorously enforced then the likes of
Steve Dunn, Paul Durkin etc would have been fixtureless, yet
they passed fitness tests both nationally and internationally,
both capable of reading games and being there or there abouts
when needed.
Quite a hard thing to shift quickly, are we not at risk of
causing referees to have eating disorders or worse?
