He will be made very welcome. Had a very hard time in the final, hope he and his family have recovered. I'm sure Ken will give him just as harder time opening the box!

That's not to mention Christie's antics!

Howard's namesake, David Webb, will be Saturday's referee....

To be fair he was originally a police officer so the world cup final will have been a walk in the park compared to some of the things he has dealt with before pressure wise.

Good point. At least the players don't go round with weapons of mass destruction. Talking of "to be fair" I have given you one back on another thread!

I thought he did ver well in the final given that there were some seriously bad challenges going in. he's my second favourite ref after graham poll, who I rate as the best in the country.

I thought he had a great final when you see the amount of yellow/red cards other refs were giving out in other games it could have been 5 a side in the final. Instead he used some common sense just had a quiet word and gave the players warnings etc and only used the card when necessary.
