HE'S one of Croydon's most famous footballing exports - but at least one Premier League referee isn't so familiar with Kieran Gibbs.
The Arsenal left-back, a former Riddlesdown Collegiate student, was sent off by Andre Marriner for deliberate handball in the early stages of the Gunners' 6-0 drubbing at Chelsea yesterday (Saturday).
It was handball, it probably was a red card, but one slight problem - it wasn't Kieran Gibbs.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was the guilty party but, despite protesting his guilt to the referee, Marriner ignored the England winger and sent Gibbs for an early bath instead.
