       I thought the viewers of this forum might appreciate this
       referee's anecdote, which I chanced upon while reading through
       some old archive newspaper reports
       It was published in the Burnley News (Wednesday 26th March 1913)

       I think that joke also appears in the 1939 movie "The Arsenal
       Stadium Mystery"!

       A variant on this theme was Don Bradman (not intending a joke)
       saying that the umpire in the test match was a good batsman
       until his eyesight went!
