On Friday 24th January 2014 the Blue Plaque to honour Mervyn was unveiled by by fellow Welsh Referee, Clive Thomas. Like Mervyn, Clive was a world class referee, appearing in the 1974 and 1978 World cup finals and countless international and top European matches. Clive said, ’I am highly honored to be asked to unveil this plaque. I held Mervyn in immense respect because he was a very strict referee and knowing that he, a fellow Welshman had got to the very top, fuelled my ambition. ’
