Meet The Ref - Hull City v Latics

Latics are away at Hull City on Wednesday in a Championship fixture, the referee for the game will be Northants official, Andy Woolmer.

 

Andy Woolmer


The 56 year old has been a Football League referee since 2004, his first game being the League 2 goalless draw between Kidderminster Harriers and Notts County on the 10th August that year.

 

 Previous Games

The first of the thirteen Latics’ games that he's been in charge of came on the 29th April 2014 away at Birmingham in the Championship and his last was the 1:2 away win at Plymouth last November as we stormed our way to the League One title.

The last was just a few weeks back, our 1:1 draw against West Brom at the end of August, James McClean and Josh Magennis both finding their way into Mr Woolmer’s book.

Woolmer is now a veteran of 611 games in which he has handed out a grand total of 1,757 yellow and, surprisingly, just 67 red cards over the 19 seasons that he has been active in league football.

Andy Woolmer was last in charge of a Hull City game back in April, a Championship encounter with Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, Hull running out 0:1 winners but picking up 5 yellows in what appears to have been a bad tempered encounter.

Eight games for Andy Woolmer so far this season, five of which have been in the Championship, his last game was Saturday 1st October, the goalless draw between Sunderland and Preston at the Stadium of Light.
