Following the interest generated by the weekend posting about Geoff Toyne, the former Scunthorpe and district umpire, let's consider two more famous men in white coats from a few decades ago - Edgar Brown and 'Ginger Dick' Lawton.
Edgar was a very, very senior umpire when he finally gave it up - and a chap with a very dry sense of humour.
Dick arrived at matches on his funky moped - or (in earlier days) rang up the away team to give him a lift if they were passing anywhere near the Queensway.
