Interview with David Elleray: 'Two great memories I have from refereeing involve great goals. I was the referee when David Beckham scored the goal at Wimbledon from the half way line, from his own half and I was also the referee when Ryan Giggs scored that sensational goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final 2 years ago.
The worst experience was probably the one occasion when I was injured in a premierleague game. Fortunately it was at the end of the game so I didn't have to come off.
The most embarrassing experience was refereeing a European cup game in France and in the second half reaching for my yellow card and discovering it wasn't in my pocket and I'm left it on the table back in the dressing room so I was left bereft of a yellow card?.I called the trainer on to treat the player who had been injured and went across to the reserve referee and stole his yellow card and went back and showed it a little belatedly.'
