Meet The Ref – Leyton Orient

Saturday’s referee is Andy Hall from the West Midlands; he became a football league referee in 1997. Last season he averaged just over 3 yellow cards per game and took charge of two Swansea games – against Nottingham Forest (home) and Stockport (away). I seem to remember that he was a fussy referee that didn’t let the game flow. Let’s hope he’s changed his ways since then.

Stats so far this season:

37 Games,

116 Yellows,

10 Reds.
