A true trail blazer is gone. Unbelievable that a guy as fit as he was ended up succumbing to a rare disease and Cancer. He was bold, fair and fearless. A lot of us saw him as the only black referee in the Epl for years. Is there another one?
RIP to Mr Rennie. A true pioneer in sports and a shinning example for the Afro l- Caribbean people. We will miss him.
