Obviously a popular chap then.

Has a lot of history with the Stanley too. I saw him at Stevenage first season we were in the Conference. Absolutely awful. I think we had seven or eight booked. Has sent Coley to the stands at least once. My heart sinks every time I see we've got him as ref.

He certainly lived down to his reputation today. He was terrible.
