Darren Deadman is an English football referee who generally officiates in the Football League but has also taken charge of FA Cup, Football League Cup and Football League Trophy matches; additionally he has fulfilled the role of fourth official in some Premier League fixtures.
He is based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
Career[edit]
Deadman started officiating in the Football League in 2005, having previously been an assistant referee in the lower Isthmian League.
In August 2009, Carlisle United made a complaint about Deadman after he allegedly shouted encouragement to a Millwall player during a League One match between the two teams. The complaint was later dropped.[1]
Deadman's most notable appointment to date came in May 2011, when he officiated the League Two play-off final at Old Trafford. He issued four yellow cards during the final, in which Stevenage won promotion by defeating Torquay United 1–0.[2]
In November 2011, Deadman officiated a Championship match between Doncaster Rovers and Middlesbrough. When Doncaster striker Billy Sharp scored in the 14th minute, he revealed a T-shirt underneath his club jersey which contained the message "That's for you son", in tribute to his newborn son who died two days prior.[3] Deadman elected not to book Sharp, even though such a celebration (the removal of the jersey) requires the referee to show a yellow card to the player under the laws of the game.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Deadman lives in Chatteris, near Peterborough, with his wife and two children.[5][6]
