Just watching Wolves vs Hull on Sky Sports 5, and its nice to see local referee Mark “Sparky” Heywood on the line.
Mark used to play for my Sunday Football Team some years ago.
I hadn’t noticed him Jeff.
Well they say a good official is one you don’t notice Derek!
Confusingly there are two Mark Heywoods who are Football League referees, the local lad and one from Yorkshire.
I always have to check which one it is as I too knew the Mid-Cheshire Mark in his Sunday League days.
I sometimes get the two mixed up.
