David Shepherd, Simon Taufel, Aleem Dar, Richard Illingworth would have to be right up there while each bringing their own style

Bird was part of a generation of English umpires who often seemed unaware of the LBW law.

Steve Bucknor was a well respected umpire but towards the end of his career was gone making errors.

Darryl Harper and Simon Taufel are really good umpires and great people too.
