Dead Man Walking - coming to a match near you soon!

[Charles Webster]

Thanks to Matt Davison for the following:

 

Luton Town press officer and qualified referee Steve Dove had to take charge of the Hatters' pre-season friendly at St Albans, last night, to ensure the game went ahead.

 

The original officials refused to sanction wholesale substitutions, at half-time.

 

When Luton manager, Mike Newell, and his St Albans' counterpart, Colin Lippiatt, refused to give ground on a maximum of six replacements per side, referee, Darren Deadman, from Cambridgeshire, and his two assistants, left the ground.

 

Dove's intervention saved the friendly, at Clarence Park, from being cancelled.

 

He remained in the middle, as the Hatters won six-nil, and admitted St Albans should have had a penalty, following a foul by defender Russ Perrett, which he failed to give.

 

But he did lecture Luton skipper Kevin Nicholls for a second half foul.
