An international referee, in 1995 Percival was one of the New Zealand Rugby League's inaugural inductions into the "Legends of League". ==Domestic career== Percival was from the Point Chevalier Pirates club and played for the 1947 Schoolboy Kiwi side.〔''Lion Red 1988 Rugby League Annual'', New Zealand Rugby Football League, 1988. p.81〕 He took up refereeing in 1956 and controlled matches in the Auckland Rugby League competition. By 1960 he was receiving provincial appointments.〔 He earned a reputation for being a dominant and "eagle-eyed" referee. Percival is credited with innovating the penalty for backchat as he regularly used to march teams for the offence before it was added to the official rulebook.〔 The Auckland Rugby League's Referee of the Year award is named the "John Percival Memorial Premiership Referee of the Year" in recognition of Percival's service to the game.〔(November 2009 Newsletter ) ''Auckland Rugby League''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Percival (rugby league)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
