FL & PL referees by season (1992-2019) spreadsheet
DIR By: Left Field
Date: September 26, 2019, 5:35 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The attached spreadsheet shows the referees who have been on the
FL and PL since 1992. The format is very similar to the Gilbert
Upton book that many of you will have. If you have worked with
spreadsheets you will be able to sort and filter the data, e.g.
to find out quickly who was on the list for a particular season.
However even if you aren't so familiar with spreadsheets you can
still view and peruse the data. The spreadsheet is colour-coded
to highlight Premier League, FIFA and Championship referees and
also has start and end dates for each referee with total seasons
on the List.
Some may wonder if the records starting in 1992 is because of a
belief that "football only started with the Premier League".
That is certainly not the case. This is part of a long-term
project to cover all the FL seasons in this way. 1992 is used as
the current start date for two reasons. One is practicality -
the season-span from 1992 to date fits most computer screens.
Secondly whether we like it or not 1992 brought a major change
in refereeing with the introduction of Premier League referees
and an end to the days when all (or almost all) referees
officiated in the top Division.
Some further notes about the spreadsheet are in the next post.

Here are some notes about codes, etc, in the spreadsheet. I've
also attached them to this post if anyone prefers them in the
form of a document. Hopefully the information is clear but let
me know if anything needs to be clarified or any other comments.

trial games at a higher level during the season. These changes
aren’t included here.
•
Premier League (1992-1994). There was no official list of
Premier referees for those seasons so every referee who took
charge of a Premier League game is classed as a Premier League
referee though some only handled a few games.
•
he was on the official list but had no matches that season.
•
referees joined and left the lists officially. In some instances
(usually due to injury or resignation) their final game may have
been earlier.

Brilliant LF (as always), thanks, I shall peruse this with
interest. Suggest you contact Upton's and sell them the rights
to publish, you could make a fortune! ;D

Thanks AT. Alas I think very few people get rich from research
on referees and refereeing - too niche a market I fear - but
it's good to put the information out there. I've just started to
add data from before 1992-1993 and it's much more
straightforward as almost all the referees are standard
officials with seven FIFA referees each time. George Courtney,
Neil Midgley and Lester Shapter were three top referees who
retired in 1992 just before "the big change".
The principle reason for me working on the spreadsheet was to
make it easier to produce the list for a specific season which
can be done by filtering the spreadsheet. For reference this is
the list for 1992-1993 but it's possible to do this for any
season it covers:
Alcock, Paul

Jeff Smith (Stafford) was named on an initial list for 1992-1993
but not included in the season's Football League Handbook. He
refereed no games in 1991-1992 (his first season), apparently
due to injury. Presumably he hadn't sufficiently recovered and
provides a rare case of a referee being appointed to the List
but making no appearances.

Does anyone have any info on David Phillips? Yorkshire-based
(Barnsley/Sheffield) referee on FL for many years.
His granddaughter has just started reffing in my local mini
soccer league

BRISTOL CITY FC V CHELSEA FC - FA CUP 4TH ROUND - JANUARY 27TH
-1990
Sorry, only just picked up on these posts about Dave Philips of
Barnsley. I don't remember anything about Dave but there is a
good sighting of him at 0:35 on the above YouTube 15 minute
clip. This was a game when Bristol City dumped Chelsea out of
the FA Cup and may well have been a pinnacle in Dave's career at
the top level.
