       Lovely to see mention of James Robert Plumbe.
       Ronnie Plumbe was a local primary school headmaster,
       churchwarden and Freemason in Kendal who had a big physical
       presence but was a very affable person who did a lot for local
       grassroots football. He was a league linesman and Lancashire
       Combination referee from 1954 to 1958, the highlight of his
       rather short career being linesman at the Amateur Cup Final at
       Wembley in 1958.
