Howard Webb on being appointed for the World Cup Final adding to his Euro Champs Lgue Final appearance in May.
Back in 1999 when he ref'd our 1-0 defeat at Kettering I thought he'd go all the way and he certainly has done that!
He was excellent back on that sunny afternoon and I have rarely seen a performance by a ref to match him during a Sutton game since.

He's had a terrific WC, and I for one will be cheering him on in the final!

The joke is true.
What do you call an Englishman in the World Cup Final. The referee.

He was excellent back on that sunny afternoon and I have rarely seen a performance by a ref to match him during a Sutton game since. I was at Kingsmeadow for a FAT game K's v Cheltenham Town. Our game was off but K's new pitch played perfectly in the extremely wet conditions making for a very fast slick passing game that ended 3-3. This was notable for 2 things. An appearance for Cheltenham Town by Andy Gray (The Sky TV one) and a very impressive refereeing display by a very young Graham Poll. As Frakey has with Howard Webb I thought he would go all the way - which he did. However we now know that success went to his head and his performances suffered. Remember his 3 yellow cards to the same player? Hopefully Howard Webb will cope. I am sure he will as not many argue with him. Would you? ;D

I've seen the 3 games Webb & his team have done and they've all been excellent. The lino's in particular have been spot on.
