Were you in a wheelchair when you started reffing? And have you officiated in a wheelchair? I can't get my head around It...Seriously bloody impressive

Gets a big thumbs up from me! Good lad!

Whilst I have a lot of respect for this....i do wonder how he keeps up with play on a fulI size outdoor pitch?

I have an RA colleague who has been in a wheelchair for 40 years so not the first by a long way. Fair play to him though !
