Webb: Top referee in the EPL
Premier League referee Howard Webb will provide some
English representation at Euro 2008. The Sheffield official has
been chosen by UEFA as one of 12 referees for the finals in Austria
and Switzerland, and will be assisted by Darren Cann and Mike
Mullarkey.
Provided Webb does well in his early games he may have a chance of
refereeing the final, with England not present, although the same
could also apply to Belgian Frank de Bleeckere, Norway's Tom
Henning Ovrebo and Slovakian Lubos Michel.
The other officials chosen for next summer's tournament are Konrad
Plautz (Austria), Herbert Fandel (Germany), Kyros Vassaras
(Greece), Roberto Rosetti (Italy), Pieter Vink (Holland), Manuel
Mejuto Gonzalez (Spain), Peter Frojdfelt (Sweden) and Massimo
Busacca (Switzerland).
Craig Thomson, of Scotland, has been chosen as one of the eight
fourth officials for the tournament.
