Jarnail Singh was the first turbaned referee in the history of the English Football League. Between 2004 and 2010 Jarnail worked more than 150 matches in the divisions and was a fourth official in the premier league.
Sky Sports News revealed in the summer that Bhupinder's brother would follow in his father's footsteps and become the first British South Asian to referee in the English Football League.
The referee of the 2010 World Cup final tipped the brothers to go to the top.
"I think both of them need to be trying to get into the premier league and the international panel of the world cup," he said.

The most famous Sikh temples in the country are linked to one of the city's clubs.
The Wigan first-team coach wears a traditional Sikh head covering called a patka and is excited to inspire South Asian and Sikh-Punjabi children who aspire to a career in the game.
Whether I'm in football or not, I follow a certain set of principles from the Sikh religion and that won't change regardless.
If that visibility provides inspiration to somebody watching then that can only be a positive thing.
