| Anthony Backhouse |
The 29 year old Cumbrian is in his fourth season on the National List and he's refereed the Latics on three 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. Earlier this season he took charge of our home draw with Wycombe Wanderers.
Backhouse has nine Accrington games under his belt, including their 7:1 demolition of Bolton in late November 2019.
Anthony Backhouse 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.
