Sam Purkiss |
A graduate of Cambridge University (Oooh-er) the 32 year old is now working at Associate at law firm Harbottle & Lewis in London, where he specialises in regulatory matters relating to sport, sponsorship, the exploitation of intellectual property and publishing. Hmm better be careful what I write here.
Sam is an ex pupil of Queen Elizabeth’s High School in Gainsborough, hang on a minute, isn’t that close to Lincoln?
This is Sam Purkiss’ second season as a Football League ref, he has not officiated for either the Latics or Lincoln previously.
Of his thirteen games so far this campaign, five have come at League 1 level, three in League 2, the rest have been around the various cup comps.
