Britain's oldest football referee is still regularly officiating games at the grand old age of 90.
Sprightly Frank Foster says he will never blow full-time on his favourite hobby that has seen him take charge of more than 5,000 games in 43 years.
He started refereeing in November 1980 and still officiates men's, women's and children's games around three times a week for the Sheffield and Hallamshire FA.
But the great-granddad-of-four says he's determined to be dishing out red and yellow cards 'forever'.
