'Alan G. Wiley' (born May 27 1960[1]) is an English football referee in the FA Premier League, and he is based in Burntwood, Staffordshire.
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, when Arsenal beat Croydon 3-2.[2] Wiley made the step up to full Premier League referee in 1999, and in the year 2000, he was fourth official for the FA Cup Final at Wembley, where Chelsea defeated Aston Villa by 1 goal to nil, courtesy of a Roberto Di Matteo goal after 73 minutes.[3]
He has subsequently been given the honour of refereeing two Football League Cup semi-finals (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 and Liverpool on 11 August 2002. The London side ran out 1-0 winners, thanks to a Gilberto Silva goal in the second half.1
Wiley was the referee for the 2005-06 Carling Cup final between Manchester United and Wigan Athletic, also at the Millennium Stadium - United winning 4-0.[4]
He then took charge of the FA Cup Final on May 13 2006 when Liverpool played West Ham United, at the same venue. 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.[5] In the game, Liverpool triumphed on penalties by 3-1, the score at the end of extra time being 3 goals each.[6]
He currently holds an FA Preliminary Coaching Badge.[7]
