He officiated on 3 occasions at Wembley: 4th Official at the 1989 FA Charity Shield Arsenal versus Liverpool; Assistant Referee at the 1992 4th Division Play-Off Final Blackpool versus Scunthorpe United; and the highlight of his domestic career was his appointment to referee the 2000 Auto Windscreen's Shield Final between Stoke City and Bristol City.
