Whod be a referee? How about you

Whod be a referee? How about you, sportDo you ever find yourself complaining that the referee needs glasses? Or that the manager doesnt know what hes doing? Well perhaps theres something you could do about it.

The Football Association recently launched a campaign to inspire members of the public to take their first steps to becoming a grassroots coach or referee. Under the banner of Football Needs the FA are hoping to encourage 50,000 new Level 1 coaches and 8,000 new referees by 2012.

Millions of us spend hours of our lives watching football, talking about football and analysing matches. Football Needs is a chance to put that knowledge and passion into practice and give something back, said Sports Minister Hugh Robertson.

The Football Needs campaign is part of a 200m investment in grassroots football and as part of the drive, England under-21 coach Stuart Pearce and referee Chris Foy took part in a Never Mind the Buzzcocks style spoof. You can watch the video below.
