The 47 year-old, who was fourth official at the 2008 final, said: "To get any appointment from the FA is always a great honour, but this surpasses anything that has happened to me in the past. [LNB]"I am happy, not just for my family and friends, but also for the wider referee family. I think the foundation stones for times like this are set over a number of years and I've worked very hard during my career to better myself and to reach this stage. It's a great honour."
