Meet The Ref - Latics v Bristol City

Latics are in action again at the DW Stadium on Friday when Bristol City are the visitors. Taking charge of his ninth Wigan Athletic game will be West Midlands based official Oliver Langford.

Langford’s first Latics game was back in December 2014 when Norwich visited the DW Stadium, we lost that game 1-0.

 

Last season he took charge of our home game against Bury which we won 4-1.

Little Oliver, has been on the National List of referees since the 2008/09 season, he was fourth official when we met Bournemouth in an FA cup 3rd round replay down at Dean Court in January 2013 – erm wasn’t that the year we went on to win the damn thing – always nice to get an opportunity to mention our FA cup win especially on cup day.

Of his 6 games so far this campaign four have been in the Championship, including Bristol City’s 0-2 home defeat against Middlesbrough back in August.
