His Colwyn Bay side were 2-0 down at home against Altrincham in the third qualifying round on Saturday when the referee was ko'd by a calf injury.

There was no fourth official. Although the linesman could have refereed Colwyn Bay rejected the offer of a replacement from the crowd to run the line amid suspicions that he had been drinking.
An offer from Robins coach Ian Senior was also rejected.

"You can't just have any Tom, Dick or Harry come in and finish the last 10 minutes of the game," said ex-Chelsea star Sinclair.
