Former referee Jarnail Singh on pride he feels as his son Sunny Singh Gill becomes the first British South Asian to referee a Premier League match on Saturday.
Former referee Jarnail Singh says it will be a "very proud" and "emotional" moment watching his son Sunny Singh Gill make history as the first British South Asian referee in the Premier League.
"As a parent we all wish our children to exceed in life whatever you've achieved, so it's not just with Sunny but Bhupinder as well. "I've got full faith in what they've done and what they're doing. I'm sure he'll be prepared mentally and physically for the game at the weekend." "He's a great role model, as is his brother, and other match officials this year when you think about Akil Howson, who has been getting Premier League games all year, Sam Allison and Rebecca Welch as well as others from minority groups that have been given similar opportunities lower down the pyramid."
