Harry Nattrass (born 1898, date of death unknown) was an English football referee who hailed from Seaham, in County Durham.
He was a Football League referee from 1933 until the 1946-47 season, having actively participated as a match official during the Second World War. Perhaps his most famous match was the one between Scotland and Germany at Ibrox on Wednesday, 14 October 1936. [2] That international signalled the arrival in Scotland of the team that represented the Nazi regime in Germany and there was concern that the game would be precipitated by demonstrations.[ citation needed ]
Nattrass' performance in the 1936 FA Cup Final between Sheffield United and Arsenal at Wembley went without comment. The match was won by the latter, courtesy of a Ted Drake goal. [3]
After finishing with his refereeing career Nattrass was employed by Newcastle United as a scout in the 1960s and 1970s and he 'discovered' Irving Nattrass, [4] who was not related though sharing the same surname. [5]
