'''Alan G. Wiley''' (born May 27, 1960<ref name="wileydetail">[http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/page/RefereeProfilesDetail/0,,10794~628215,00.html Birthdate confirmation and profile]: [[the Football League|Football League]] Official website.</ref>) is an [[England|English]] [[football (soccer)|football]] [[Referee (football)|referee]] in the [[FA Premier League]], and he is based in [[Burntwood]], [[Staffordshire]]. |
|||
==Career== |
|||
He first took up the whistle in 1981, then officiated in the [[West Midlands (Regional) League]] until 1991, when he became an [[assistant referee]] on [[the Football League]] List. In 1994, he was promoted to the FA Premier League List of assistant referees, and a year later progressed to the Football League referees' List. |
|||
In 1998, he refereed the [[FA Women's Cup]] [[Final (competition)|Final]], when [[Arsenal L.F.C.|Arsenal]] beat [[Croydon L.F.C.|Croydon]] 3-2.<ref>[http://www.thefa.com/Womens/TheFAWomensCup/History/Postings/2003/11/10050.htm 1998 Women's Cup Final]: [[the Football Association|FA.com]] website.</ref> Wiley made the step up to full Premier League referee in 1999, taking charge of his first match on August 11, 1999 at [[The Dell (Southampton)|The Dell]] between [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] and [[Leeds United A.F.C.|Leeds United]], which the away side won 3-0.<ref>[http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=264772 First Premiership match], Southampton v. Leeds, 1999: [[soccerbase]].com website.</ref> In the year 2000, he was [[fourth official]] for the [[FA Cup Final 2000|FA Cup Final]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]], where [[Chelsea FC|Chelsea]] defeated [[Aston Villa FC|Aston Villa]] by 1 goal to nil, courtesy of a [[Roberto Di Matteo]] goal after 73 minutes.<ref>[http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=setSelectedId&nextPage=enRefereesProfile&id=2896&type=com.fapl.website.stories.SimpleStories&categoryCode=Referees Fourth official] for the 2000 [[FA Cup Final 2000|FA Cup Final]]: [[Premier League|Premier League website]].</ref> |
|||
He has subsequently been given the honour of refereeing two [[Football League Cup]] [[semi-final]]s (2003 and 2006), but his first prestige men's game as man-in-the-middle was the [[Community Shield]] match at the [[Millennium Stadium]], [[Cardiff]], between [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] on 11 August 2002. The [[London]] side ran out 1-0 winners, thanks to a [[Gilberto Silva]] goal in the second half.<ref name="wileydetail" /> |
|||
Wiley was the referee for the [[2005-06 in English football|2005-06]] [[Football League Cup|Carling Cup]] final between [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] and [[Wigan Athletic F.C.|Wigan Athletic]], also at the Millennium Stadium - United winning 4-0.<ref>[http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=481357 2005-06 Carling Cup Final]: soccerbase.com website.</ref> |
|||
He then took charge of the [[FA Cup Final 2006|FA Cup Final]] on May 13, 2006 when Liverpool played [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]], at the same venue. [[Mike Dean (referee)|Mike Dean]] was originally appointed to referee the game but [[the Football Association]] took the unusual step of replacing him after concerns were raised about his ability to be impartial towards Liverpool, who are based near Dean's home town on [[Merseyside]].<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2006/04/25/sfnfac25.xml ''"FA replace Cup final referee from the Wirral"'']: [[Daily Telegraph|Telegraph.co.uk]] website.</ref> In the game, Liverpool triumphed on [[Penalty shootout (football)|penalties]] by 3-1, the score at the end of [[extra time]] being 3 goals each.<ref>[http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=484894 2006 FA Cup Final]: soccerbase.com website.</ref> |
|||
He currently holds an FA Preliminary Coaching Badge.<ref>[http://www.refereesassistant.com/html/main/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=954 FA Preliminary Coaching Badge] confirmation: ''RefereesAssistant.com'' website.</ref> |
|||
Wiley was on the receiving end of an Alex Ferguson tirade following Manchester United's loss to Chelsea on 26th April 2008, when Chelsea were awarded a penalty for handball. Manchester United's bench claimed the ball had hit midfielder [[Michael Carrick]] on the shoulder, however the penalty was awarded by assistant referee Glenn Turner, and was scored to give [[Chelsea]] a 2-1 lead. |
|||
On the 24th May 2008, Mr Wiley took charge of the Championship Playoff Final between Hull City and Bristol City at Wembley Stadium, a match which Hull City won. |
|||
On 18th October 2008, Mr Wiley was revealed as the successor to Mark Clattenburg as the provider of free points to Liverpool F.C. With Clattenburg suspended from refereeing duties this season due to financial irregularities, everybody connected with Liverpool was initially concerned about how the F.A. would award the traditional 6-9 points per season that Clattenburg's inept and/or corrupt refereeing usually hands to the club. However, during Liverpool's 3-2 home victory against Wigan Athletic, Wiley unfairly sent off Antonio Valencia, which was a major contributing factor in the smaller club's surrender of their 2-1 lead. Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez remarked after the game, "We are all relieved that the F.A. has finally nominated a referee who can work with us. We have never won a Premiership, and the last league title we won was eighteen years ago. With the help of Mr Wiley, we can stop everybody else laughing at us when we try to maintain that we are still a big club." |
