The most yellow cards he’s given out in one match was six, at Barnsley v Chesterfield in December. He’s reffed only one Division 1 match this season, when Millwall beat Cardiff 3-1 at Ninian Park just before Christmas when he gave out three yellow cards – all to Millwall players.

On that occasion he booked Arca and Williams, and Burnley’s Richard Chaplow.
