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 Mike Dean, who was appointed the referee for the Brighton & Hove Albion v Swans Premier League game on Saturday, 24th February 2018.
Name: Mike Dean
DOB: 2nd June 1968
Birthplace: Wirral, England
Interesting Fact: Probably best remembered for being the referee that was cut on the head by a coin thrown by a Cardiff fan in the last ever Cardiff v Swans derby at Ninian Park and whom later went on to award the Bluebirds a last minute penalty!
