So it seems Howard Webb can slot penalties as easily as he can give them, depending on who you support. Here’s some footage from 2012 that’s just come to our attention which shows the referee taking part in a charity match at Barnsey FC’s Oakwell ground.

For the record, the goalkeeper was TV actor and fellow Yorkshireman Dean Andrews.
