The goal counts but the ref would probably never ref a match again.
On November 9th 1968 in the 77th minute of the Barrow AFC versus Plymouth match, Referee Ivan Robinson managed to divert a miss-hit shot by George McLean past bemused Plymouth keeper Pat Dunne.
In an attempt to jump over the ball, Ivan somehow achieved what no player from either side managed to do all game and back-heeled the ball quite spectacularly into the net. The game finished 1-0.
My uncle Ivan continued to referee Football League games until he retired due to ill health in 1972.
On his next game involving Barrow the crowd struck up that inevitable chant- "Ivan, Ivan, give us a goal".
Very True Ian!
RIP My mad referee goal scoring gramps!
