Terence Holbrook (born December 6 1945fact|date=February 2008) is an English former football referee in the Football League and Premier League. During his refereeing career he was based in Walsall, and subsequently Wolverhampton, both in the West Midlands.

Career

He became a Football League linesman in 1980 and two years later graduated to the referees' List. He was senior linesman to Peter Willis in the 1985 FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Everton. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=258962 FA Cup Final 1985] : soccerbase.com website.]

By the late 1980s, Holbrook was taking charge of a number of key matches. In 1989 he handled a League Cup semi-final first leg between Nottingham Forest and Bristol City. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=6104 League Cup semi-final, first leg, 1989] : soccerbase.com website.] One year later he refereed a semi-final second leg in the same competition at Upton Park as West Ham beat Oldham 3-0. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=223983 League Cup semi-final, second leg, 1990] : soccerbase.com website.] However, the Northern side had already won the first leg 6-0, so emerged easy aggregate winners.

In August 1991 he was in charge at Wembley for the Charity Shield - a goalless draw between North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=224072 Charity Shield 1991] : soccerbase.com website.] He continued to referee frequently in the old Division One during the following season, as well as controlling his most senior FA Cup tie in the middle - a quarter-final and replay between Chelsea and Sunderland, eventually won by the North East team, who were then in the old Division Two. [ [http://solo11.abac.com/mikechurch/cfc/1991_92/fac.html FA Cup quarter-final and replay] , 1992: Mike Church's "ChelseaFC" statistical website.]

It was therefore perhaps surprising that he did not feature at all in the Premier League in its first season (1992-93), remaining in the Football League, although he did control a League Cup quarter-final between Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday in January 1993. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=225220 League Cup quarter-final 1993] : soccerbase.com website.] However, he eventually made his Premiership debut with a match between Blackburn and Sheffield United in October 1993, and thereafter had regular games at that level. He reached the retirement age of forty-eight at the end of the 1993-94 season but was granted an extension, and all his League games for 1994-95 were in the Premiership. He retired in May 1995, his final match a scoreless draw between Everton and Southampton.

Since his retirement, he has been involved with Footballcv, [ [http://www.footballcv.com/content/default/about.asp About] Footballcv: from their website.] an organisation which attempts to ensure that all youngsters who write in asking for a trial to assess their talent, get one in front of selected ex-professionals.
