Kevin Morgan a very respected Official within the Welsh Pyramid system will visit the EGRA for the September Meeting.
Last years Welsh Cup Final was Kevins last game as an active Referee and always an ambition for keving to Referee Wales's biggest Domestic Competition before he retired.
Kevin is now taking his role as a Delegate to help support and coach Referees on behalf of the FAW.
Here is a Little Bit about Kevin:
Date of Birth: 01/01/1971
Height: 5ft 11ins
Weight: 13st 12lbs
Profession: Senior Business Manager, Natwest Bank (means I have a PA to screen unwanted telephone calls!)
First ever match: Glamorous event – St Johns Tigers (Kidderminster) v Seven Stars (Stourbridge) in the Kidderminster Sunday League Division Six at White Wickets, Kiddermister. No cards and I was the ‘best referee they’d had all season’ (it was actually the first game of the season…). September 1998.
First ever International: Wales v Denmark U-19 (2007)
Career highlights: English Contributory League Cup Final (Asst Referee) 2003 and Supply League Cup Final (Referee) 2003 & 2004 (change of appts secretary in 2004 and he hadn’t realised I had done the final the year before – I didn’t tell him until after the game and then told him I was moving back to Wales – to say he wasn’t best pleased is an understatement!).
What does being a football referee mean to you?
Mainly the match day ‘buzz’ and pre match apprehension (adrenalin) but also being out of the house on a Saturday afternoon, getting some fresh air, exercise and the opportunity to meet some very interesting characters (officials & players).
Why did you become a referee?
Injury – tore my cruciate ligament whilst playing in a Welsh Cup tie in October 1996 (aged 25) and reconstruction surgery didn’t fully work. Played for one season (1997/98) for Halesowen in the English system before taking up the whistle as the only way of staying in the game I have loved since the age of 5.
