We were proud to recognise his contribution to EDRA โ€” and to Scottish football more widely โ€” with a memento at our recent annual dinner.Although hanging up the whistle, Alex will stay connected to the association, helping to share his experience with next generation of referees.Thanks for everything, Sheps. Youโ€™ve left your mark โ€” now enjoy the next chapter! (๐Ÿ“ธ Alex is pictured with President Danny Graves and Association Manager Martin Clark.) ... See MoreSee Less
