Meet The Ref - Brighton

Why not visit our sponsors lounge

Saturday's referee is Andy Hall from the West Midlands; he became a football league referee in 1997. This season he averages 3.14 yellows per game and has issued 6 red cards.

He will referee his third Swans game of the season - his last was the 2-0 win over Brentford at home, he also took charge of the Orient away game earlier in the season where he awarded us a penalty and sent off 2 players in that game - one for the opposition and harshly sent off Leon Knight.

He can be a very fussy referee and doesn't let the game flow but we have only lost two games with him in charge.

Stats so far this season:

34 Games,

107 Yellows,

6 Reds.
