Information About

David Elleray




Elleray is also remembered as the referee who failed to award Chesterfield a goal during the FA Cup semi final of 1997 . A shot had hit the crossbar and then bounced over the line but was collected by the Middlesbrough goalkeeper. Elleray and his officials failed to notice that a goal had been scored and play continued. The game ended 3-3 after extra time but had the goal been given, the Spireites would have gained a 3-1 lead.
