La Parka Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) 12 minutes ago, joeyt said: Uriah Rennie The first referee I ever spoke to IRL. He was referring a Worksop Town game as a kid. Came into the bar after and was sound as fuck. RIP big man. Sheffield legend. Edited 15 hours ago by La Parka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago That image of him stopping Roy Keane going ballistic is iconic. May have been a bit erratic as a ref but he was a little different in the sense that he'd get hands on like that from time to time. Was he the guy who sent Shearer off at Charlton?

Dr.Spaceman Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Ah, I knew he had sent him off, D'urso gave the Charlton red that was rescinded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Contentious guy for us Newcastle fans I suppose. But in hindsight, his Shearer red card set the wheels in motion that season that eventually got Sir Bobby in. One of those iconic figures from early Premier League football.

BlazeT44 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago RIP. He's been battling serious health issues in recent times. On a personal note, I once met Uriah Rennie referring a charity game I played in at Sheffield FC. In all honesty I can't say it was a pleasure, but saddened to hear he's passed at what is a relatively young age. Despite how he came across that day, he's certainly someone who broke the mould for a lot of young referees (and across football in general) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) He had a neurological disorder didn't he? Last I saw he was in a wheelchair. Can not have been easy being the first black ref. Can't imagine what he had to put up with throughout his career. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Show-Ashley-Hickson-Lovence/dp/0571366791 There's a novelisation of his life here. Not read it but might see if the library will get it in for me. Edited 3 hours ago by La Parka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
