Meet The Ref - AFC Wimbledon v Latics

Latics travel down to SW17 on Sunday to face AFC Wimbledon at the Cherry Reds Record Stadium on Plough Lane, in a League One fixture. Scheduled to take charge of the game is Northants based referee, Andy Humphries.

 

29 year old, Humphries, a schoolteacher by trade, has shot through the ranks, making the step up from the National League to the EFL refereeing list in 2025

Previous Games

Andy Humphries has two previous Latics games under his belt, both coming last season and both games were at the Brick. The Wycombe Wanderers Carabao Cup tie back in October 2025, a game we lost 0:1, Will Aimson picking up our only yellow card that evening.

The second game was our League One encounter with highflying Bradford City in March this year, a bumper crowd of nearly 17,000 saw us defeat the Bantams by two goals to nil, Caylan Vickers and Joe Taylor bagging the goals, Weir, Kerr, Rodriges and once again Will Aimson picking up yellows.

Humphries first league game this campaign came in League Two, Crawley suffering a 0:1 home defeat to Crewe, a game that saw 8 yellow and 3 red cards, Crawley picking up two yellows and two straight reds. Apparently, it wasn’t a dirty game.

Plough Lane entertained Andy Humphries back on the 31st January this year, he was in charge of the Wombles home defeat to Bolton by a solitary goal.
