Latics face Port Vale at the DW Stadium in the latest round of games in their EFL group, a victory tonight would see us progress through to the next stage.
In charge of the game, making his first Latics appearance and for that matter, his first Port Vale game is West Riding referee Sam Barrott.
This is Barrott’s first season on the National List of referees having spent last campaign taking charge of games in the 5th tier, the National League.
Barrott became a referee due to an injury playing football for Halifax Town Youth Team, his injury left him unable to do contact sport for 9 months. His granddad advised him to take the referee’s course whilst he was out injured and the rest, as they say, is history.
Barrott cites both Bobby and Andy Madley as his role models.
