Meet The Ref - Latics v Crewe Alex

Latics face Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday at the DW Stadium, in charge of the game will be Birmingham official, Tom Reeves.

 

Tom Reeves

Tom Reeves is in his debut season as a League ref, having spent the past three years officiating in the National League where, surprisingly, he only clocked up 46 games over that time.

 

This will be his second Latics game, ironically his previous Latics game was our away visit to Crewe in the Papa John Trophy back in October, we lost 2-0 with Tilt, Kerr and Lloyd picking up yellow cards.

 

Reeves has refereed Crewe twice previously, both this season, both at Gresty Road and in consecutive games, he took charge of the Crewe v Cambridge League One game on Saturday 2^nd October which ended 2:2, he then stayed over in his digs to take charge of our visit there in the EFL Trophy on the following Tuesday, the 5^th of October, Reeves booked 2 Crewe players in each game, he’s nothing if not consistent.  

 

A graduate of Warwick University, Tom spent five years as a PE Teacher before joining Coventry City’s Community team in 2018, as the PL Sport Manager working alongside former Sky Blues centre back and Head of Community, David Busst.

 

Tom Reeves’s last game was on Saturday 12^th February, the League One fixture between Portsmouth and Doncaster Rovers at Fratton Park, Reeves issued just the one yellow card, going the way of the home side, Pompey won the game 4:0
