The Jamaican star was red-carded by referee Clive Wilkes for elbowing Darlington's Martin Gray. Boyd came on as a substitute seven minutes from time after Swansea were awarded a free-kick, but referee Wilkes dismissed him for his attack on Gray before it was taken. Wilkes had stopped the game to send off Darlington's Steve Tutill for a foul on Steve Watkin. By the time the official turned around, Gray was lying face down on the ground clutching his head. Wilkes, who was alerted to what happened by the assistant referee, confirmed he had not restarted his watch before sending off Boyd. FA statistician Ray Spiller confirmed: "This will go in the record books as nought seconds as the match had not been restarted." Source: The Sun Newspaper, Picture: Corel Corporation
