PREMIER League referee Uriah Rennie has tragically passed away aged 65.
Rennie had recently opened up about a rare condition that left him paralysed from the waist down.
Once described as the “fittest” referee in England’s top division, Rennie refereed over 300 top flight matches between 1997 and 2008.
An FA statement read: “The FA Refereeing Department is saddened to hear of the passing of former FIFA and Premier League referee, Uriah Rennie.
“Uriah will forever be remembered as a true trailblazer of the game. Our thoughts are with Uriah’s family and friends at this time.”
