What a charachter took no shit.Remember him booking me for not getting the ball Title: bunny uzzell rip Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, August 6, 2007, 14:20:07 I used to work with his Son, David at EMI. Knew them both.
He booked me for saying bollocks and it was my only ever booking :shock: Title: bunny uzzell rip Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, August 6, 2007, 14:32:15 Pretty distinctive name. Any relation to Chris Uzzell?
Title: bunny uzzell rip Post by: janaage on Monday, August 6, 2007, 14:33:44 I have played and survived 90 mins with Bunny. Always remember my mate telling me about "this ref" and that I'd get booked for nothing. Turns out, the model pro that I am, I never did get inside his ref's notebook.
RIP. Title: bunny uzzell rip Post by: Arriba on Monday, August 6, 2007, 14:41:00 my most memorable run in with him came when i sheppered a ball out of touch for a goal kick.he gave an indirect free kick to the opposition and took me on one of his legendary walks up the other end of the pitch almost,for a ticking off.
he reffed me loads of times and i cannot remember him booking me at all.even though i totted up plenty over the years.had good banter with him anyone know if eddie paper still refs?another old boy and a lovely guy to boot Title: bunny uzzell rip Post by: Bushey Boy on Monday, August 6, 2007, 14:42:59 Thats some sad news, hes reffed me a few times, people like that are legends

One time we were playing and our left back cleared the ball into touch fairly hard - ball went about 100 yards out of play. Bunny blew his whistle and made the lad go and fetch the ball - telling him if he didn't he would send him off for ungentelmanly conduct !
His son Dave is a nice fella - Land of bo do you remember a blonde bird called Caroline who worked with him in the EMI offices ? Title: bunny uzzell rip Post by: DV on Monday, August 6, 2007, 15:53:34 dont think I ever came across him personally or if I did.....I didnt know who he was.
However, we played a friendly sunday and did have a minutes silence before the game for bunny.
