The 51-year-old did not expect top footballers to become referees but he said it could prove to be a viable career option for ex-players. "We need to look at how we can entice people in. We've always struggled to get ex-players involved," Webb told reporters on Thursday. The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), the Football Association and PGMOL are running a joint initiative named 'Player To Referee Pathway'.
