Timeline

1933

Patrick Partridge BEM (30 June 1933 – 31 October 2014) was an English football referee, and former President of the Association of Football League Referees and Linesmen.

His occupation outside football was as a farmer.

He originated from Billingham, County Durham, and had the same name as his father, Patrick Partridge, MBE.

1953

He first became a referee in 1953, with the Durham County FA.

1954

During his period of compulsory National Service (1954–1956), he registered as an Army referee; during a military posting to Hong Kong, he was allowed to officiate in that country's Third and Fourth Divisions.

1957

Partridge returned to England and, for a short time from 1957, was appointed to referee games in the now-defunct North Eastern League.

1958

Following its disbandment in 1958, he moved to the Northern League to develop his career further.

1965

He was accepted as a Football League linesman for the 1965-66 season, and progressed to become a Football League referee in the following year.

1967

On 13 May 1967, Stoke City visited Old Trafford to play Manchester United, just after United had been confirmed as the old Division One champions.

Paddy Crerand of United had an altercation with Peter Dobing of Stoke.

Unknown to Partridge, TV cameras picked up Crerand's action of spitting over his shoulder at Tony Allen, another Stoke player.

Partridge later received a letter from Alan Hardaker, the then secretary of the Football League, asking for his observations on the incident, but was unable to respond with conclusive evidence.

Nevertheless, the International Board changed the Laws of the Game to put spitting on a par with violent conduct, and therefore a dismissible offence.

1971

He was promoted to the FIFA list of referees in 1971, taking the place of the retiring Kevin Howley.

Howley was another Teesside official who had played a key role in his early career.

Just prior to this promotion the pair had run the line to Jack Taylor in the 1971 European Cup Final between Ajax and Panathinaikos at Wembley.‡ Although not chosen to officiate in the 1974 FIFA World Cup Finals, he did handle two friendly matches in Brazil as a precursor to that event.

1974

These were Brazil versus Czechoslovakia on 7 April 1974, and Brazil against Austria on 5 May 1974.

1975

His greatest domestic honour was being awarded control of the 1975 FA Cup Final between West Ham and Fulham on 3 May 1975, which West Ham won 2–0, both goals being scored by Alan Taylor.

1976

As a FIFA referee, he returned to Brazil to referee the second leg of the 1976 World Club Championship Final (otherwise known as the Intercontinental Cup) in Mineirão, Belo Horizonte, between Cruzeiro and Bayern Munich.

Bayern led 2-0 from the first leg, and a 0–0 draw in the latter game on 21 December 1976 meant that the German side took the Trophy that year.

1977

On 11 May 1977, he took charge of the European Cup Winners Cup Final between SV Hamburg and Anderlecht in the Olympisch Stadion, Amsterdam, which Hamburg won by 2–0.

1978

1978 was by far Partridge's busiest year.

He was appointed to that year's League Cup Final at Wembley between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool, which ended 0-0 after extra time.

The replay was won 1-0 by Forest at Old Trafford from the award of a penalty kick by Partridge against Liverpool's Phil Thompson, Partridge believing Thompson's foul had taken place inside the penalty area, but television replays indicated it had not.

After Partridge later compounded this error by disallowing Terry McDermott's equaliser for handball, Liverpool defender Tommy Smith famously remarked that Partridge "should be shot".

This is also the match where the same player is attributed with the first use of the phrase "professional foul".

On 12 September 1978, he refereed an infamous meeting between Burnley and Celtic in the quarter final of the now-defunct Anglo-Scottish Cup, in which Steve Kindon gave Burnley the lead after 55 minutes.

Partridge was chosen as a FIFA representative to officiate during the 1978 World Cup Finals in Argentina.

He was linesman for two matches, both in Group A: Argentina v. Hungary, which Argentina won 2–1; and France v. Hungary, which France won 3–1.

He refereed just the one match in the Finals, the Second Stage Group B match between Peru and Poland, which finished 1–0 to Poland through a goal by Andrzej Szarmach.

In his book, Partridge remarked at length as to the antics of the Peruvian goalkeeper, Ramon Quiroga, during that match.

Having earlier executed two perfect tackles on outfield players during the match, on or near the halfway line, Quiroga then pulled down Grzegorz Lato in his opponents' half in the second period, earning himself a caution, despite standing and bowing apologetically towards the referee after the misdemeanor.

1979

In his 1979 co-authored biography with John Gibson, he recalled his first ever top-class Football League match as man-in-the-middle, when he awarded three penalty kicks in the game between Manchester City and Leicester City at Maine Road in March 1967, which Leicester won 3–1.

He also recounts a chain of events which led to a major change in the International Laws of Association Football.

1980

By the 80th minute, the mass of Celtic supporters showed their frustration to such a degree that Partridge led off both sets of players.

Only a plea to the crowd from Kindon and Celtic manager Billy McNeill, at the referee's suggestion, allowed the game to resume.

When it did, the score remained the same until the end.

The 1980 European Championships in Italy (the last tournament of his career) ended in his officiating in only one match throughout its duration.

This was the encounter between Greece and Czechoslovakia on 14 June at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The Greeks lost by 3 goals to 1, finishing bottom of Group A. Partridge should have retired from refereeing directly after the Championships.
