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 referee spotlight focuses on Graham Scott, who was appointed the referee for the Swansea City v Bristol City FA Cup Third Round replay game on Tuesday, 17 January 2023.
Referee Scott was assisted by Mark Scholes and Craig Taylor, with Josh Smith the 4th Official for the game.
Name: Graham Scott
DOB: 1968
Birthplace: Oxfordshire
Background:
Scott became a Premier League official during the 2014/15 season, having been on the National List of referees since the start of the 2008/09 season.
Swans related Fact(s):
He is probably best remembered by Swansea fans for his performance during Sunderland’s 4-2 win at the Liberty in January 2016, when he and his assistants manage to miss two offside goals, award a dubious penalty and send off Kyle Naughton.
Bizarrely, the only reason Scott took charge of the game was because he was a last minute replacement due to Andre Marriner withdrawing due to illness.
During the 2018/19 season, he also sent off the Swans Courtney Baker-Richardson after just 5 minutes in the game against Millwall at the Den.
Here are the all important facts and figures for each game that he has been a referee for a Swansea City game:
