One of English football’s best-known referees has been censured by the FA for making a racist comment at an officials’ summit. David Elleray, former house-master at Harrow School and the highest-profile official at the start of the Premier League, racially abused Robert McCarthy, who is black and a referee coaching manager for the FA in non-league football, at a referees’ meeting at St George’s Park on June 21. Elleray was heard by a number of people to say to McCarthy: ‘You looked rather tanned’, adding: ‘have you been down a coal mine?’ VIDEO Scroll down to watch some incredible refereeing moments
