       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.

       Mr Poll carried a fair bit of bulk too..
       I agree though, Hackett was in a different league when it came
       to carrying “a fair bit of timber”

       There are also a few missing faces from Step 1/2A…
       Hulme - Retired
       Gibbons - Rumoured to have undergone major heart surgery
       Collins
       Evans
       Johnson
       Also seems to be a shortage of Step 1 AR’s with National List
       covering a few games recently.
