What a great read.

When you read how officials now are flown in for European matches and put up in the finest hotels read this article and have a little smile.

Arthur Ellis was the main man in refereeing circles in the 1950s but what about his wee brother !!

There's history and then there's Hibs history..

Interesting read. Was the ref for all Hibs European Cup games from 2nd round to the semi final.
Also remember him from It's a knockout

Arthur was king of the dipstick on knockout (one for older 'netters....).

Thanks for that DJ, it was an interesting read and I didn't know about his Hibs connection.

I met Arthur Ellis when I, ahem, took part in It's a Knockout and he was a dead gen bloke and quite witty. We won our local heat and qualified to take part in the 'British Final' at Charnock Richard as well as a European away event in Tesserete, Switzerland.

I'm on Dave TV from time to time!
