RAISED ARM
- This is from "The Mercury" a newspaper from Hobart, Tasmania. March 26, 1951:
To escape the anger of thousands of Newport County Easter football fans, referee Arthur Blythe was smuggled out of the Newport ground disguised as a St John ambulance officer.
Blythe had called off the match against Norwich city 20 minutes before time when Newport was leading 5-0. Blythe collapsed from exhaustion when he reached the dressing shed after trying to control a game the conditions of which he later described as "impossible".
Norwich players were hemmed in their dressing shed by several thousand Newport fans. One player ventured out - but only after disguising himself with a false moustache.
(did they have false moustaches lying around?)
