Terry Heilbron

Terry Heilbron

Terence Heilbron (born c. 1952) is an English former football referee in the English Football League, who took charge of the 1999 Football League Cup Final. During his time on the List he was based in Newton Aycliffe in County Durham.

Career

He became a Football League linesman in 1989 and four years later was elevated to the National List of referees at the age of forty one. However his age meant his chances of promotion to the Premier League were extremely slim as the policy at the time (since relaxed a little) was only to promote younger officials with prospects of a long Premier career or FIFA status.fact|date=August 2007

His appointments by the late nineties suggested he was held in high regard by the Football League. This culminated in 1999 when he was appointed to the League Cup Final between Leicester and Tottenham at Wembley. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=257083 League Cup Final, 1999] , Leicester v. Tottenham: soccerbase.com website.] Heilbron is the only referee to be appointed to a major English Final without ever officiating in the top division. Tottenham won the game 1-0 despite having Justin Edinburgh dismissed.

The following season was his last but saw more Football League and League Cup appointments. He visited Highbury in the third round for Premier League side Arsenal's tie with Preston of the then Second Division, [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=267839 Arsenal v.
