Howard King (referee)

He was based in Merthyr Tydfil which was also home to Leo Callaghan, one of only three Welsh referees to control the English FA Cup Final.

His first ever match in the Premier League was the 2–1 home win by Coventry City over Middlesbrough at Highfield Road on 15 August 1992.

In December 1993 he handled a fourth round replay in the English League Cup which saw Wimbledon (now MK Dons) beat Liverpool 4–3 on penalties after a 2–2 draw following extra time.

He was having injury problems, as he had at various points in his career, and as a result left the List at the end of season 1993–94, a year before he was due to reach retirement age.
