Andre Marriner was the man responsible for that ridiculous Shearer sending off against us years back.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Dermot Gallagher was a Villa fan, he admitted as much after he retired.There was another one whose name escapes me, think he was from Brum and was refereeing around 2000. There was a feature about him in the old Claret and Blue magazine around the time of the Cup Final. Pretty certain he was one of the well known ones at the time, though not so well known that I can name him now, obv.

Shame he was MP for Small Heath really.
