The England referee Howard Webb will get charge of Sunday's FIFA World Cup 2010 final between Spain vs Netherlands, FIFA have announced.

Howard Webb will form a team with juniors Darren Cann and Michael Mullarkey for the pride and joy clash. Following absent out on the quarter and semi-finals, the Rotherham-born bureaucrat will become the first Englishman since Jack Taylor in 1974 to be hand over the important post.

The ex- police officer and his partners had been extensively praised for their handling of the Brazil vs Chile second round and Slovakia vs Italy group stage matches. Howard Webb also officiated Inter's Champions League final victory against Bayern Munich in May, despite experiencing criticism in some quarters for a sub-par domestic campaign.
