Jimmy Gunn Merit Award
Candidates are chosen from the ranks of referees. They are judged on their achievements toward promoting sportsmanship and the image of the game.
Jimmy was an outstanding senior referee - one of the type that you seldom notice during a game. He was an avid supporter and trainer of new referees, and in his own way, an early supporter of refereeing positioning and signaling. Typically, he was dumbfounded when asked to present the first award in 1969.
