When he was five, he began his lifelong devotion to football, watching Match of the Day and The Big Match every weekend. His first live game confirmed his undying allegiance to Luton Town FC. Although a keen schoolboy player, he realised his talents would only take him so far and he started refereeing youth matches in the Luton area at the age of 15. This led to a passion for life with a whistle and a flag. A good job in sports and leisure management allowed him to pursue a parallel career in football, and after a lot of hard work he progressed through the ranks to reach the National List of Assistant Referees in 2008. In nine seasons on the Football League line, Gavin officiated in over 250 matches, experiencing the highs and lows of the professional game. He retired from the National List in 2017, happily returning to the lower levels of non-League football, and now helps to develop the next generation of referees as a Mentor for the Bedfordshire Football Association.view less
