Mad for the Play Off Final

Last updated : 23 May 2015 By @pnemad

Born in 1983, Andy Madley made his debut in Barnet’s 1-0 win at Morecambe on 6 August 2011. He is the older brother of fellow Football League referee Bobby Madley (born 1985) who took charge of the 4-1 win over Swindon on 2 September 2012  

 

His first League One match was PNE’s match at Leyton Orient which the home side won 2-1.

 

Last season the match between Port Vale and Preston saw the referee produced the most cards in one match with eight yellow and one red as Joe Garner scored twice in Preston’s 2-0 victory after a case of mistaken identity saw him escape a red card.

 

Garner struck Vale's Anthony Griffith in the 13th minute but referee Andy Madley sent off Neil Kilkenny instead.

 

Kilkenny had to be persuaded to leave the pitch as Preston boss Simon Grayson remonstrated with Mr Madley.

 

His last Swindon match was a 4-2 home defeat to Brighton in the League Cup after extra time which saw the Robins Nathan Thompson sent off in the last minute of extra time.

 

His last league match was a 0-0 draw between Middlesbrough and Brighton on 2 May.

 

The referee and his two assistants have already experienced Wembley this season, when they took charge of the FA Vase Final on 9 May as North Shields came from a goal down to beat Glossop North End 2-1 and win The FA Vase.
