Goalkeepers and referees are often the forgotten men at the end of a football match. But not this week.

After a dramatic 90 minutes in a relegation six-pointer against Jewdinese, AC Whetstone showed a touch of class when he paid tribute to the performance of the man in black, Laurence Thorne.

Nathan told JC Sport: "A word of thanks to Laurence Thorne who was calmness personified as referee when some young heads on the pitch and one or two on the touchline got heated."
