Herbert Bamlett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herbert Bamlett (born 1882 in Gateshead, England, United Kingdom) was an English football manager and referee. He became the youngest person to ever referee an FA Cup Final when he did so at age 32 in the 1914 decider between Liverpool and Burnley.
He started in football management in the same year at Oldham Athletic during the club's halcyon days, before moving on to Wigan Borough (defunct) (1921-23), Middlesbrough (1923-26), and then to Manchester United in April 1927, after a break. He remained there until 1931. [1]
Paradoxically, in 1909 he had refereed the FA Cup quarter-final tie between Burnley and his future charges United - calling the game off at 1-0 to United and with only 18 minutes left to play! [2]
