The Latics face Premier League opposition at the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday, Fulham are the visitors for a 4th round FA Cup tie, the referee for the game is scheduled to be County Durham based official, David Webb.
Webb made his debut in the EFL taking charge of the Bury v Brentford League Two match back in August 2008, whatever happened to those two clubs?
He is now in his 17th season as a professional ref.
So far in his career, David Webb has taken charge of over 550 games, quite an experienced referee, to say the least.
Previous Games
David Webb’s first Latics game came in the Championship, back in September 2013, a 2:0 defeat away at Leicester, both Jean Beausejour and Ben Watson ending up with yellow cards.
46 year old Webb has previously taken charge of 17 Latics games, of which we have won 8 and drawn 5, losing just 4, a lucky ref for us? We will see.
The last time David Webb was officiating in a Wigan Athletic fixture was also an FA Cup tie, our 1:1 away draw at Luton in the 3rd round back in 2023, a time when there were replays.
Twenty games so far for David Webb this season, eighteen of which have been in the Championship, one each in the FA and the EFL Cups
