RIP Uriah Rennie 22:23 - Jun 8 with 665 viewsSaintNick

Not everyones cup of tea as a referee, but sad to hear that he has died.

"The Premier League's first black referee Uriah Rennie has passed away just months after learning to walk again after rare condition left him paralysed from the waist down."

Unlike today’s generation of referees, he wasn’t intimidated by big-name players.

My memories of him is that he was a pretty good and consistent referee irrespective of the club or player.

Very sad and at such a young age (65). Today's refs could learn a lot from him.

Outside of reffing he was a pretty inspirational guy. Sad loss.

I agree. Can't have been easy being the first black ref, especially in a role where potentially thousands of people are going to hate you for the slightest error. I always thought he was good. Sad.

Big bit on Tsport this morning about him and it seems he was also a decent guy off the pitch, but also had the respect on it.
Def a trailblazer but still not that many black refs at the top end of the game
Sad news at only 65 as well
