Smith was working the Houston Texans’ showdown against AFC South rival the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He fell over between plays during the first quarter of the Week 6 clash.

But the delay turned out to be a lengthy one as Smith struggled to get back on his feet.

A medical cart then came on to help the referee, and he took a seat on the back.

Smith raised his cap to fans as he was carted away down one of the tunnels at Wembley.
