I do remember Andy Davies replacing Jarnail Singh in an AFCB
game when he was still an AR. Mr Singh had not endeared himself
to the home or away crowd at the time and Andy both entered and
exited the pitch to a standing ovation from both sets of fans!
Andy told me many years later that it was one of his most
surreal moments at a football match!!

Given Mr Davies performances in recent years I suspect he hasn’t
had a standing ovation since! 🤪

10.04.1993 Manchester United v Sheffield Wednesday
Manchester United claimed their first title since 1967 with an
88th minute winner in a match that had 7 minutes 16 seconds
added time which was the start of the "Fergie Time" myth. Alex
Ferguson later watched it back and said there should have been
12 minutes.
John Hilditch took over after 60 minutes
John Martin was due to referee the game but he had been injured
and replaced by Mike Peck.
15 minutes into the second half, Peck injured his Achilles and
John Hilditch took over.
"The replacement was from the local F.A., so we took our time
changing over to give him a good chance to compose himself.
While that was happening, Mike offered me his watch but I turned
him down because I'd been keeping time myself and I carried on
using my own."

19.10.2003
Northern Premier League
Bishop Auckland v Prescot Cables
Referee was injured and line took over but with no fourth
official, and a local volunteer not deemed up to standard, the
match was to be abandoned
So spectator Pat Partridge (then aged 70) took on the role and
the match was completed (1-1)
Partridge was the referee for Arsenal v Liverpool on 16th
September 1972 when one of his linesmen tore a muscle and Jimmy
Hill took over.

My earliest Bradford P.A.programme[mid fifties]has referee KG
HESKETH of Southport-he later moved along the coast nearer
Preston,to Banks.Tall and balding-no other memories!
I am glad Tommy Reynolds visited other grounds-he seemed to be
semi-permanent at P.A.

19.08.1989
Manchester United v Arsenal
David Hutchinson - start of his final season
Pulled a muscle after 34 minutes and replaced by line
Reports differ between J.J.Richardson (Woolton, Liverpool) and
J.Caulkin (Stoke)
However Liverpool Echo interviewed Richardson about it, he was
back as a North West Counties ref the following week

It was definitely John Richardson. Media reports on who took
over in these instances need to be treated with caution and
sometimes get the wrong official so a visual identification or
interview as you've found are the best guides.
