Meet The Ref - Latics v Wycombe Wanderers

Latics entertain table topping Wycombe Wanderers in our second home game in four days on Tuesday evening, the man entrusted to keep the game flowing will be Carlisle official, Anthony Backhouse.

 

Anthony Backhouse

The 29 year old Cumbrian is in his fourth season on the National List and as refereed the Latics on two previous occasions, our 1:0 home win over Northampton Town in September 2017, booking both Michael Jacobs and, not surprisingly, Sam Morsy.

 

Last season he was in charge of our demolition of MK Dons at the DW, a really entertaining game in which we ran out 3:0 winners, Curtis Tilt ending up with a yellow card.

 

Backhouse has just the one Wycombe game under his belt, their 1:2 League 2 away win at Chesterfield in April 2018.

 

Anthony has already reached the top in one respect, he refereed at Wembley, the 2017/18 National League Play-Off final between Tranmere Rovers and winners Forest Green Rovers.

 

“Officiating at Wembley was a fantastic experience” says Anthony

 

“Yeah but have you witnessed your team winning the FA Cup there” replies Barry.

 

This season the Carlisle whistle blower has been in charge of:

League 1 - Shrewsbury 0:1 Burton

EFL Cup - Stoke 2:1 Fleetwood

League 2 - Mansfield 2:1 Newport
