S10:E74 - Dan Robathan. The journey of a football referee from grassroots to the Premier League

In this weeks interview we have another inspiring story, that started with a young man getting talked into covering a linesman role when watching a football match that his dad was refereeing. Decades on and our guest Dan Robathan has just this weekend gone been part of the refereeing team for the FA cup final at Wembley. Today Dan takes us on that journey from childhood through to Wembley. We explore what it’s like walking out in front of 90000 fans….and how he prepares his body and mind for that experience. We explore how the landscape of officiating has evolved and find out more about the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) group, who’s remit is to officiate all Premier League, EFL and FA matches You can connect with the PGMOL on Twitter here: You can connect with Dan on LinkedIn here: All our Rogue Monkey links: Podcast website homepage: Youtube channel: Instagram: Twitter: Facebook: Community update: Support the podcast: #referee #football #facup #premierleague #refereeing #official #footballofficial #footballreferee #linesman #podcast #sharingstories #journey
