A trip to South Devon for the Latics on Tuesday, Plymouth hosting us in another vital game in our fight against relegation, the man keeping charge of proceedings on the pitch is Surrey official, Gavin Ward.
Gavin Ward has experience in the EFL, as well as the Premier League and in International football.
Ward was appointed to the Select Group 2 list of referees ahead of the 2018/19 season following more than ten years as an EFL referee in League One and League Two.
Having made his debut in August 2007 when Hereford United beat Barnet 2-1 at Underhill, he went on to take charge of the 2017/18 EFL Trophy Final between Shrewsbury Town and Lincoln City, as well as being the Fourth Official for the FA Vase Final in 2011.
So far this season, 22 of his 23 games have been in the Championship, he also ref’d the Rochdale/Hull League 1 fixture back in October.
Latics’ related facts:
Gavin has ref’d the Latics against Norwich at Carrow Road twice, both games finished 1-0, a win apiece.
In the home game against Derby County in December 2018, Ward sent Kal Naismith off after 15 minutes for a professional foul on the diving little shit Harry Wilson.
He refereed the last game that Latics fans had the opportunity to attend, out goalless draw with Luton on the 7th March last year. That feels almost a life-time back.
