       Blimey, I must be older than I thought.  Carl lined to me
       several times between 1998 and 2005.

       Found some further information about Brook. He started
       refereeing at 14 and got on to the EFL at the age of 44 after 30
       years working his way up through the ranks. A most commendable
       example of diligence, perseverance and not giving up. It's good
       to know, in these days of Development Groups and accelerated
       promotions, that there is still room at the table for a referee
       with such a steady progression who perhaps had a few setbacks
       along the way but never gave up on the ambition.
