Former Tottenham youth and Portsmouth defender Anton Walkes has died aged 25 in an accident, his club Charlotte FC said. RIP
Former rugby league match official Fred Lindop, who refereed the 1970 World Cup final, four Challenge Cup finals and many Test matches, has died aged 84. Lindop, who was part of the Wakefield society of referees, famously took charge of the 1980 all-Hull Challenge Cup final - won by Kingston Rovers. His final game was the 1988 final between holders Halifax and Wigan, and he received the MBE a year later. "Fred was a role model for me," current referee Ben Thaler said. "He will go down as one of the greatest officials to ever grace the game of rugby league. "His contribution to the sport goes well beyond that of a referee, inspiring many young players through the amateur clubs of Eastmoor and Oulton, as well as his dedication to moving officials to a new level - he really was a one-off." RIP
