    Used to ref a load of fights but dont see him so much now. A top ref IMO.

    Seemed a bit of a character.

    He was forced to retire due to age, he has been refereeing on the continent for years now. You'll see him on a lot of German shows.

    He's an OAP now so the BBBofC won't let him ref fights in the UK. Does Euro fights now.

    Used to have a cafe in Leeds.

    Top bloke.

    I like him because he'd dare score a non-consequential four or six rounder to a journeyman.

    ID have him back in a second. Brit refs are the worst for early stoppages. Never saw that problem with Vann from what I remember.

    He is one of the reasons Earl-Katsidis was so good.
