(7) Provenance: John Carpenter collection. By descent to the current owner. John Carpenter (1936-2021) was an Irish professional football referee who officiated in the League of Ireland from 1964 to 1984, as well as a FIFA international referee from 1969 to 1984. Carpenter took up refereeing in the early 1960s when a broken leg cut short his playing career with St Patrick's Athletic. He joined the League of Ireland panel in 1964. Carpenter had a distinguished career in European club competitions, refereeing 37 matches and culminating in the 1982 UEFA Cup Final. He refereed 15 full international matches between 1970 and 1983; and was a reserve referee for the 1974 FIFA World Cup. When the North American Soccer League was launched, Carpenter was one of a small number of European referees who were invited to officiate.
