Meet The Ref - Portsmouth v Latics

Latics take the long trip down to newly crowned League One Champions, Portsmouth, on Saturday for our final away fixture of the season, the referee for the game will be Northants official, Dean Whitestone.

 

Whitestone has been around for quite a while now, started refereeing in the EFL back in 2005 and actually took charge of his first game at Championship level just two years later when he was in charge of the QPR v Colchester United match on the 22nd December 2007.

 Previous Games

The serving Met Police Officer is a veteran of over 600 games, nearly 200 of those coming at Championship level.

Dean Whitestone has taken charge of seven Latics games previously, of which we have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 3. The last two both came last season and in both games we were on the wrong end of a 2:1 score-line.

Whitestone’s last Portsmouth game came last season away at the Valley, Charlton running out 3:0 winners with Pompey skipper Marlon Pack getting a red card on 66 minutes.
