English football referee Uriah Rennie has passed away at the age of 65. Sport24.az reports that the Football Association has released a statement about this.
Rennie made history as the first black referee to officiate over 300 games in the Premier League between 1997 and 2008.
It should be noted that the veteran referee said in an interview with the BBC in April that he felt discomfort in his back while on vacation in Turkey.
