A big cup of Yorkshire tea as i finish this novelisation of the life of Sheffield football (soccer) referee Uriah Rennie. #20in4 @Andrew65 it's an interesting tale as he moves to UK from Jamaica to join his family at age abt 11,adjusts to life in this cold uninviting country to become to 1st black premier league referee. Hated by fans and players alike the bk follows his refereeing career (rather than personal life). An interesting well told tale
