Reading Will Gore’s piece about refereeing a junior football match, I too had a similar experience a few years back (Dewsbury Rams match day programme)

Nice piece, Will. I wrote a similar piece a few years ago for my local rugby league club’s Match Day programme. Who’d be a ref, eh?

Alan Tyler of The Rockingbirds may never have had a hit however he has written a great little book about missed chances and blown opportunities in the music business. I suspect Alan is still gradually learning and will continue to plough a musical furrow until something better comes along!
