Meet The Ref - Derby County v Wigan Athletic


Following on from a great performance and very good result against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, the Latics travel down the M6/A50 on Wednesday to face Derby County in a Championship encounter looking for our first win on the road this campaign, the man inflicting his authority on the game will be the one, the only, Keith Stroud.

The 49 year old Bournemouth whistle blower has been in charge of nine games so far this season, six of which have been in the Championship, issuing just 20 yellows and no reds this is a quiet start to the new campaign by little Keith.

A frequent ref for the ‘tics, Stroud took charge of four of our games last season, Bristol City (2-2) and West Brom (1-0) away, Blackburn (3-1) and Stoke (0-0) at home.

A former top flight (briefly) ref, Stroud took charge of just one Premier League game featuring ourselves, the Reading v Latics game back in September 2007, which Reading won 2-1. He was originally promoted to the Select Group of officials in July 2007 following a career which had seen him progress from the Wessex League in 1988 to the Football League National List in 2004.

Keith Stroud lasted just two seasons amongst the elite of English refs, he was dropped back down to the National List and replaced with Kevin Friend.
