However, Lewis was also the man in the middle for a game
that will go down as one of the most catastrophic days in
football as 96 people lost their lives when Liverpool faced
Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough in 1989.
After serving one year in the Premier League in its
inaugural 1992-93 season, Lewis retired aged 49 having
spent 24 years as a Football League official.
Since his retirement, he has gone on to become the
president of the Surrey County Football Association and
chairs the FA’s leagues committee.
“It is a great honour and I didn’t expect it so it was a lovely surprise,” said Lewis, who is a lifelong
Leatherhead supporter. “To receive a national award from an organisation like The Non-League
Paper is fantastic and there are a lot of people at this level of the sport who just do things for the
love of it and it is a great way to say thank you very much to those people. I started out in football
by founding a club called South Kingston when I was just 15 years old and I was even refereeing
the team back then. I was told that I wasn’t doing a bad job so I took a refereeing exam in 1962
and carried on doing it for the next 50 years. In my 24 years refereeing in the Football League there
are two games in particular that stick out in my mind. The first was the 1991 FA Cup semi-final
between Tottenham and Arsenal, which was the first ever to be played at Wembley and the second
was the 1989 semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest which was of course also the
Hillsborough disaster. We didn’t really understand the seriousness of it all at the time but those are
the types of thing that stick in your mind for the rest of your life.”
