[Dr. Feelgood]

The only ref who ever seemed to be a lucky charm for us. He was never biased but we always seemed to win when he was officiating.

Nailed on 3 points back in the day with the big man

Hope he manages to get back on his feet

 

[deeane Koontz]

Get well soon sweet prince

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Good luck to him in his recovery

What a shame, and a great tale of perseverance. 

All the best to him.

[Rizlar]

Excellent ref and all round nice guy you can do it Uriah. 

[gonzo]

Still not many black refs kicking about.

He looked a bit rice and chips on Tuesday.

Thought he was decent Tuesday. Managed the blood and thunder pretty well without being too petty. Was on top of the game, got the big decisions right. 
 

Good luck to Big Uriah

Always felt like we had a good chance when I saw Rennie was refereeing our games.

Wish him all the best.

Get well soon Uriah. I think we only lost one game when he reffed us - I remember being a bit put out because I always expected us to win when he was the official!

Sad news about his illness. its doubly concerning when it happens to someone so fit so let’s all hope Uriah pulls through and is soon back on his feet again?

[FrancisFogarty]

Sad that. He was always fair to us. Bet he's the only official that no Bolton fan has a bad word for.

[kent_white]

Good ref Uriah - and a shame to see one of Bolton's biggest supporters in a bad way! 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Obviously it's sickening, but I reckon he has a look of Clive Myrie, who is a Boltonian. Maybe some unknown connection.
