About

Welcome to my blog RefereeingBooks! This whole thing got started a few years ago, when through a string of coincidences I suddenly found myself in the possession of a number of books about football and refereeing. Then, the number was still small… Unfortunately (or maybe not), I was bitten by the collecting bug and now my stack of books has grown to sizeable proportions. I’m not too particular; as long as the book is about the history of football, makes some mention of referees or the Laws, I’m happy to add it to the collection. Most coveted, of course, are (auto)biographies of referees and guides about how to referee. On this blog, I will list them all, provide summaries, write articles about the history of refereeing and the Laws, and answer any queries that you may have. Please don’t hesitate to offer any comments and follow me on Twitter. Happy reading!
