Britain's oldest referee aged 81 says he has no plans to blow the whistle on his career - because the pastime keeps him out of M&S on Saturday afternoons.

George Wright has spent almost 50 years officiating his favourite sport since he retired as a player in 1970.

Three times a week George can be seen running up and down the pitch, sorting out wayward players - and he admits he rules with an iron fist.

George, from Bodmin, Cornwall, is getting on a bit now and has told his family he will consider giving it up - but admits he actually wants to keep going.
