Five years later he was selected to be senior linesman to Norman Burtenshaw for the FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Liverpool.
[4] In 1974, he took charge of a FA Cup quarter-final between Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest (then in the old Division 2).
Kew awarded Forest a penalty and then sent off Newcastle defender Pat Howard for his protests.
Forest scored and, shortly afterwards, Newcastle fans invaded the pitch, causing the game to be suspended.
In his retirement year, one last honour came his way when he was appointed to the 1977 League Cup Final between Aston Villa and Everton at Wembley.
