| Alan Young |
Alan Young was appointed to the National List at the beginning of the 2018/19 season, he has gone on to ref 131 games since, issuing 655 yellow cards and 23 reds and awarding 26 penalties.
You could say Young is a little card happy, currently averaging 5 yellows per game and in his six seasons on the National List he’s not had a single no card game, in fact he has only had one game where he has issued just one card. His average so far this season is 6 yellows per game.
Previous Games
This will be the third time Young has been in charge of a Latics game, the two previous were both away fixtures at Doncaster, our 1:4 win April 2021, Jamie Jones and Joe Dodoo both finding their way into the book with a yellow apiece and our 1:2 win at the Keepmoat in January 2022, Ben Amos picking up a yellow that day.
Alan Young has previously ref’d Stevenage on seven occasions, the last one coming last season, their 1:0 home win over Crewe in March. Young does have a bit of card form with Stevenage, taking charge of their FA Cup tie against MK Dons in 2021 he produced 8 (eight) yellow cards and 2 reds.
Away from refereeing Alan Young is still involved in football, his full time job is CEO/Director of Bedfordshire FA, he’s been in the position for the past ten years.
