- How a 93-year-old soccer referee credits wartime rations and discipline for his longevity
Frank Foster, a 93-year-old soccer referee with a 46-year career officiating 5,500 matches, attributes his longevity and stamina to wartime rations, healthy habits, and discipline. He maintains a strict diet, runs three times weekly, and criticizes modern referees for being 'soft,' advocating for strict pre-game rules and rejecting video review systems. Foster continues refereeing men's, women's, and children's games, emphasizing cleanliness and authority on the field.
