Dermot Gallagher
After twenty five years as a referee, Dermot has only just hung up his whistle as a top official. On the National for nine, he remains one of the most recognisable and respected of the men in black.
A budding footballer in his day, his love of the game brought him into refereeing and led him to officiating 14 international matches, 8 international cup finals, as well as the Under 20s World Cup final between Brazil and Argentina.
A much revered professional who is welcomed into the Masters fold for 2006.
Steve Lodge
Steve retired from the National list of referees at the end of the 2000/01 season, but his hard work on the pitch has continued for Masters ever since.
His CV is impressive. He refereed the 1997 FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Middlesbrough and the semi finals of the same competition in1996 and 1998. In 1996, he also took charge of the FA Vase Final and the semi final of the Football League Cup.
