Brian White (referee)

Brian White, born in 1961 or 1962, is a Gaelic football referee from County Wexford in Ireland. He began refereeing inter-county games in 1991, when he took charge of the Leinster Senior Football Championship final between Dublin and Kildare at Croke Park, and he gained a reputation for letting the game flow. He refereed three All-Ireland Senior Football Championship finals: the 1997 final between Kerry and Mayo, the 2000 replay between Galway and Kerry, which made him the first referee to take an All-Ireland final replay without having refereed the drawn game, and the 2003 final between Armagh and Tyrone. He was named referee of the year in 1994, 1997 and 2000, worked in the International Rules Series, and played hurling and football for Cushinstown. In early 2005 he chose to move from football refereeing to hurling.
