THE Premier League’s youngest-ever referee is set for his debut in Blackburn Rovers' match with Hull City tomorrow.Stuart Attwell, 25, from Nuneaton, will break the record previously held by Mark Clattenburg, who was 29 when he made the step up in 2004.
Attwell has only officiated for one year at Football League level but referees assessor Alan Wilkie has given his full backing to the soon-to-be top flight official.
Wilkie said: “We’ve never had this situation before, but I have assessed this young man and he has all the skills and qualities, including maturity.”
