 I have decided after quite a bit of soul searching due to an ongoing injury,  it's time to stop officiating for the foreseeable future,  I have been advised by my specialist it would be beneficial to do so . I have been officiating in Cornwall for nearly over 30 seasons and believe it or not have enjoyed every second . I know there will be a few who will be glad to see me stop , I would like to thank everyone and I mean everyone who I have had the pleasure to officiate,  met or just bumped into in my career as a referee.  I will miss you all in some small way . Thank you all 

Kindest regards Ian Spurling.

Thank you for all the refereeing you’ve done over the years Ian. Unfortunately I’ve not seen you for a few years now because Probus moved west, but whenever we had you as ref, you did a great job, we had some banter and you always refereed with a smile on your face. It will be a sad loss to football without you in the middle anymore, but I think you’ve more than earned your rest! Truly one of the top men in the middle (and a gentleman off it too) that I’ve had the pleasure of being on the pitch with.
Thanks for everything you’ve done and hopefully see you at a game sometime soon.

What a coincidence Ian , two weeks ago I had to make the same decision. 47 years very difficult decision to have to make.

The same comments I made above about Ian apply to you Mr Manning. You will be a big miss to the game.
 

I hope you both are able to stay involved in the game some way and mentoring others, using your vast experience is a good way of doing so I would think.
