Howard King (born 1 September 1946) is a former football referee in the English Football League and Premier League. He also served on the Welsh FIFA List. He was based in Merthyr Tydfil which was also home to Leo Callaghan, one of only three Welsh referees to control the English FA Cup Final.

Career

Domestic

King became a Football League linesman in 1977 and three years later was promoted to the referees List, aged thirty three. He featured quite frequently in the top division over the next few years and was selected as one of the first Premier League referees for 1992-93 while also continuing to referee Football League matches. His first ever match in the Premier League was the 2-1 home win by Coventry City over Middlesbrough at Highfield Road on 15 August 1992.

King served two years on the Premier List. In December 1993 he handled a fourth round replay in the English League Cup which saw Wimbledon (now MK Dons) beat Liverpool 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw following extra time. This proved to be his final game. He was having injury problems, as he had at various points in his career, and as a result left the List at the end of season 1993-94, a year before he was due to reach retirement age.
