I wish I had Mr Lover's CV! I'll be linking to one of his articles.
Stanley F. Lover was born on December 18,
1925 in London, England. Currently living in
Neuilly, near Paris, France, he is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and a
marketing consultant. A painter and sculptor, Lover is also a golfer
(lowest handicap 3) with eight holes-in-one. He has served as Qualified
Golf Referee for five years with French Federation de Golf.
Tuberculosis
ended a promising semi-pro playing career in 1946, so he turned to
refereeing with over 1,000 matches including serving as an assistant
referee in the Football League for 11 years, plus international matches
and European Cup ties. He has held many leadership positions including
President of the Football League Referees Association and The London
Referees Society. He was the sole FIFA selection to the FIFA Panel of
Instructors for Referees Courses (1971-94) where he conducted FIFA
courses in all six Confederations. As a writer Stanley has contributed
many instructional features and articles for referees worldwide and was
recently honoured as one of the most influential figures in soccer
officiating history by the National Association of Sports Officials in
America.
