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 10^th August that year.

 

 Previous Games

The first of the thirteen Latics’ games that he's been in charge of came on the 29^th 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 1^st October, the goalless draw between Sunderland and Preston at the Stadium of Light.
