He always seemed to display the most infinite patience. And I'm sure he needed it. |  |

RiP
A rare beast, he was an almost universally liked referee.
He'll be missed. |  |

By all accounts a top guy
One of my best mates here in Sheffield used to be fourth official a fair few times years ago before Uriah went “mainstream” and he said as a bloke he was superb. Patient , a true gentlemen and gained upmost respect from players and officials alike.

RIP only 65
I never saw him live but apparently he refereed 7 of our games with 3 wins and 2 draws. I remember him on MoD making some top decisions without all the technology to help. |  | | |

Sad, generally a very good ref |  |

I seem to recall him reffing a game for us vs the scum?

Didn't Fab have him for his testimonial by specific request? |  |

RIP.
Can remember the first time we had him…. The 2-0 home win over Norwich in 1997 (Mason & Taricco) and he was excellent - didn’t stand for any of their diving and cheating and let the game flow. |  |

One of the few refs of the Hollywood EPL era who didn't make it all about them.
He always struck me as a machine. Very fit.
65 is no age really.
Sad. |  |

I remember West Ham fans, in a moment of rare humour, serenading him with a chorus of ‘You Sexy Thing’
RIP Uriah, a trailblazer and an excellent referee. |  |

While groundbreaking as a black referee, he was first and foremost one of the best match officials irrelevant of his skin colour I have seen.
Authoritative without being a dictator or the need to be centre of attention - question should be why do we not have more match officals like this anymore? |  | | |

Yep absolutely. I met him at a couple of clubs in Yorkshire and I imagine it’s rare that you see an ex ref who is clearly so well liked and respected. | | | |

A proper ref! one of a kind and done a huge amount for the community and stood his ground over discrimination. RIP | | | |

Can’t believe he was 65 and retired 17 years ago.
Seems like 5 years ago he was reffing |  | | |

Ah yes, my mistake. I recall it surprised me now you remind me. | |

oh, I see he reffed the Charlton away disaster on New Years Day 2002.
Great ref, sadly taken early. Had a rough last 6 months or so of life. | | | |

Wasn’t he a black belt in a martial art ?
I also can’t believe he retired that long ago…time is bloody odd. |  |
