World Cup final referee Howard Webb gave an in-depth insight into his life and career for guests at a special dinner for the Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation.

The dinner, at Harrogate’s Hotel du Vin last week, raised funds for the Foundation which supports projects helping young people across the Yorkshire region.

Foundation Chairman Peter McCormick, of McCormicks of Harrogate, said: Howard was a terrific speaker, giving a presentation full of interesting content and delivered with passion. He is a great ambassador for the game of football and his profession and our guests were delighted to be able to put their questions to him.”
