D'Urso's Unforgettable Bulls Encounter

Sunday's ref Andy D'Urso refereed the Bulls way back in 1995, with what appears to be an unforgettable performance.

Bulls fan Rob Powell emailed us with memories of a harsh pair of red cards for two Bulls players. The Encyclopedia Parrottica filled in the blanks and the pair took us back to 28th October 1995 for a Division Three, as it was then, clash at Craven Cottage.

Hosts Fulham, still months away from the Al-Fayed revolution, were held to a goal-less draw despite playing against nine Bulls for the majority of the game. Keith Downing was dismissed for a challenge that, according to Ron Parrott, "hardly nerited a yellow card yet alone a red!"

Steve Blatherwick, on loan from Nottm Forest, went shortly after for a second yellow from the referee who was in only his second Football League season, with Rob summing up D'Urso's performance: "Not my favourite referee!"
