Each week we take a close look at the referee assigned to the Swans game and look at their previous record when officiating our beloved Swansea City.
This week’s spotlight for our man in the middle falls on Lee Mason, who was appointed the referee for the Swans v Everton Premier League game on Saturday, 14th April 2018.
Name: Lee Mason
DOB: October 29th, 1971
Birthplace: Bolton.
Interesting Fact:Swans fans are unlikely to need reminding about Mason thanks to his ‘handling’ of the goalless draw with West Ham at the Liberty during the 2015/16 season, when he failed to award a penalty for the home side after James Collins deliberately blocked Ki Sung-Yeung’s shot with his hand. He was also the ref the last time the Swans played Watford – a 1 nil defeat at Vicarage Road back in April.
Here are the all important facts and figures for each game that he has been a referee for a Swansea City game:
