Next stop: Devon


LONDON: Soccer’s best known referee Pierluigi Collina bowed out of international football after last Thursday's Euro 2004 semi-final – the next match for the bald official with staring eyes could be the unlikely setting of Dawlish Town in the picturesque English county of Devon. 

The cash-strapped non-league club play a pre-season friendly against Kettering Town on July 31 and have requested that the 44-year-old Italian officiate in a bid to attract a huge crowd.
