Tuesday’s match against Brighton will be refereed by Grant Hegley. An experienced official, this will be his 10th League match at Roots Hall (won 6, drawn 1, lost 2 (to York and Boston of all teams!)). He has not yet refereed a Southend away League game although he officiated in the 2-0 LDV win at Northampton.
He has a somewhat laissez faire style to his refereeing, resulting in far less than average cards. He has only sent off one player in 28 months. Has already had 7 cardless games this season including 4 in a row; most referees don’t manage that in a career. He hit the headlines two seasons ago when he was suspended for too lenient refereeing. Shortly after that he showed ten yellow cards in a game twice. I’m sure the assessors must have been much happier with that. Has long since reverted back to his original style.
