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 Jonathan Moss, who was appointed the referee for the Swans v Chelsea Premier League game on Saturday, 28th April 2018.
Name: Jonathan Moss
DOB: 18 October 1970
Birthplace: Sunderland
Interesting Fact: Probably best remembered by Swans fans for his sending off of Wilfried Bony (for two clumsy challenges) against Southampton in September 2014. Football fans in general might also remember him spraying himself – rather than the pitch – with his magic spray earlier in 2014.
Here are the all important facts and figures for each game that he has been a referee for a Swansea City game:
