Chris Birchall reflected on his career, stating, "I had an 18-year career and I was fortunate enough to play for numerous teams from Port Vale to Coventry. Then I moved abroad to LA Galaxy and also played international football from Trinidad and Tobago, so I have been lucky enough to travel the world and experience different cultures. Now I am hopefully ready for another chapter."
Birchall explained his reasoning for pursuing refereeing, saying, "I'd done my refereeing course probably about two months before this opportunity came, so it was something that I went to get into anyway. I'd always expressed that there should be more ex-players that should be referees because we understand the game better from a player's perspective."
