Rotherham United travel to the Cherry Red Records Stadium (Plough Lane) to take on AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night where Charles Breakspear from Surrey has the whistle.
Charles began his refereeing in his local county of Surrey coming through the ranks including the Blue Square Premier League which he was promoted from in 2013.
He was last in the middle for a Millers game in December 2019 at Roots Hall where Rotherham went in front on twenty-nine minutes thanks to an own goal. Southend made it two-one, the first from the penalty spot, but a Freddie Ladapo goal on the hour mark gave the visitors a point. Charles was also in charge of our EFL Cup game earlier that season when Sheffield Wednesday were the visitors at the New York Stadium. A last minute Atdhe Nuhiu goal gave the visitors the win with Dan Barlaser seeing yellow for Rotherham alongside the Owls’ Barry Bannan and Joel Pelupessy.
The only other time Charles was in the middle for a Millers game was the first game of 2016 when Rotherham travelled to Deepdale to take on Rochdale. Shay Facey, on loan from Manchester City, made his debut for Rotherham with Tony Andreu putting the Millers in front on the thirty-fifth minute. Unfortunately for the visitors Eoin Doyle equalised midway through the second half with an own goal in the final minute of the game from the head of Jonson Clarke-Harris giving Preston all three points.
This season Charles has been in the middle for twenty-five games showing a whopping one hundred and nine yellow cards (ten of those in one game) and two red cards.
Running the line on Tuesday night we have Paul Yates and Ryan Whitaker with Joseph Stokes being the Fourth Official.
