A video by the Football Association on the awareness of referees and how many people, from different walks of life, want to become referees because they love the game.
It really is a s simple as the video above points out, that you’re not going to be able to easily spot the referee unless they’re officiating a current football game. In the Accrington and District Referees’ society, there are many different individuals from a range of professions and walks of life who have chosen to become a referee because they love the game. It simply isn’t the fact that you are an individual who gets to officiate a game in the welcoming surroundings of East Lancashire, but that you, as a football referee, will have the ability to both contribute and learn from the different aspects of the field of play.
However, it is important that the game of football has more individuals who are interested in being trained and mentored to become great referees – you never know, you could become the next Howard Webb and be refereeing the World Cup final in a few years. In short, the country needs another eight thousand referees by the end of 2012.
