How has Amy Fearne made history?

Question

She made an unprecedented appearance at a league 1 game, right?

Answer 1

Yep, Amy took to the field as the referee for the last 20 minutes of the Coventry - Nottingham Forest match last night, when official referee Tony Bates picked up a calf injury and substituted himself since he couldn't continue. Fearne officiated without controversy for the close of the second half, despite six minutes of injury time. Forest lost 1-nil, but manager Billy Davies isn't too upset - the side currently sit four points off the top of the league.
