Nigel Plews

Nigel Trevor Plews (5 September 1934 – 19 October 2008) was a cricket umpire from England, who stood in first-class and international level matches.

Plews was unusual for a top-level English umpire, in that he was one of only four umpires who have stood in Tests in England since World War II who did not play first-class cricket.

He took up umpiring full-time after retiring from a 25-year career with the Nottingham city police force, where he was a detective sergeant – he was nicknamed "Serge" on the field – in the Fraud Squad.

[2] He also stood in 16 One Day International matches and officiated at 11 Tests before retiring.
