It's not often a referee finds themselves at the centre of attention during an FA Cup semi-final, but Jon Moss found himself in exactly that position at Wembley on Saturday.
The iconic Premier League ref took charge of Manchester City's semi-final clash with Arsenal in the evening kick-off, and soon found his name bandied about on social media.
Moss quickly trended on social media platform Twitter for one simple reason... the cameras happened to capture an up-close shot of his football boots.
Zooming in after a City player was felled and the game brought to a halt, cameras unintentionally ended up focusing on Moss's old school Lotto boots, which happened to include his own embroidered nickname.
The all black boots could be see to have 'Mossy' stitched in bright white material just under the neck, by the lace rings.
Fans wasted no time in sharing the image online, with one viewer writing: 'No way has Jon Moss got Mossy on his Lotto boots' accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Others questioned why a 49-year-old man would choose to have such an addition to their boots, while ribbing Moss in a light-hearted manner.
Moss was promoted to the 'Select group of Referees' in 2011, a panel of English football referees and assistant refs appointed by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).
Born in Sundeland, Moss moved to West Yorkshire early in his career where he became a PE teacher at a Leeds school.
Moss happened to teach veteran England star James Milner, who was one of his pupils.
Moss has since refereed Milner in the Premier League on multiple occasions, and even sent off his former student when Liverpool faced Crystal Palace at Anfield in January 2019.
