Was a youth level referee. Most former players still call me Ref.
In Holland, where hockey is a huge sport, footballers laughingly say "Hockey, voetbal met een stokkie". It rhymes too. It means "Hockey, football with a stick".

Football here is still the working class sport and hockey is still middle class and higher. Is there still the same hockey demographic in England?
