Advocates for greater inclusion in refereeing question pa... Campaigners insist that much more needs to be done to build on Uriah Rennie’s incredible legacy

In today’s Observer Sport print edition.

The best way to honour Uriah Rennie is by keeping up the ... Uri, as he was affectionately known, made a huge impact on everyone lucky enough to meet him and deserves his flowers

Having been inspired to do a long-form project while on my studies on this topic, Rennie’s human qualities are what stands out the most. From Sheffield court rooms and grassroots pitches to Premier League stadiums. My mini-tribute.

Desperately sad news regarding the passing of the former Premier League referee, Uriah Rennie. Such a trailblazer and loved by many, many condolences to his family and those who knew him.

The 4-1 win at Griffin Park was great. Sulley Muntari and Junior Agogo (God rest his soul) were on fire that day. That and a friendly draw with England at Wembley are the only other times I’ve seen the Black Stars in London🙏🏿

Such sad news about South London Press shutting down after more than 100 years. It was the first place that gave me a chance to report when I made the transition from teaching and my year 6 class even made appearance in it. Gutting.

Sad news that the South London Press has closed. It was a great local newspaper.

It also ran one of the greatest local newspaper stories ever*, "Squirrels on crack".
