Refereed the way it should be, bit of a smile, good for a laugh, good for a bit of banter, and always brought your glasses.

Never got carried away with the authority of the position - well done.

Top ref and a top bloke!! Enjoy resting those knees Andy! You'll have to go and watch a few games and give the ref a bit of stick from the touchline mate!! :-)

Good luck in your retirement Andy, consistency and the rapport with the players made you one the best officials on the circuit. Hope to see you soon for the friendly banter we have shared over the years. Very Welcome at St Day next season.
