David Pugh of Bebington, Merseyside
Not one of the top ref's Mr Pugh has taken charge of 28 games this season
60% of them in the lower divisions.
He is an infrequent visitor to Fulham games, in fact the last Fulham game
he officiated at was the 3-1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road in
January of last year. In that game he booked Luis Boa Morte for a handball
and Sean Davis for a foul.
Nearly 70% of Mr Pugh's cards go to visiting squads so a certain lad by
the name of Savage, if he is not locked in the loo, should appear in his
book by Saturday evening.
