Mark R. Halsey (born July 8, 1961[1]) is an English football referee in the Premier League. He was formerly based in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, latterly in Bolton, Lancashire.[2]
[edit] CareerMark Halsey, a native of Hertfordshire, spent 12 years playing non-league football before he started refereeing in 1989. In December 1984 he played one game for Barnet before joining St Albans City and in the early 1990s Halsey would train with Barnet in Potters Bar to keep himself prepared for the rigours of officiating top flight games.[citation needed] Halsey has been a National List referee for the Football League since the mid-1990s.[2] He refereed the 1999 Football League One Play-off Final between Gillingham and Manchester City at Wembley on May 30, 1999, when City won 3-1 on penalties, the match finishing 2-2 after extra time.[3] Also in that year, he was promoted to Premier League referee, his first match in this competition being the 1-1 draw between Wimbledon and Coventry City on August 14, 1999.[4] In 2000, he was added to the FIFA List of referees, officiating in the Toulon Under-21 tournament in the same year. In 2001 he was a referee for the football tournament at the World Student Games in Beijing, and in 2002 at the FIFA World Disabled Championships, held in Japan.[5] Also in 2002, he was appointed as fourth official to Mike Riley for the FA Cup Final on May 4, 2002 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, where Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-0, the goals coming from Ray Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg.[6] In 2004, he took control of his first major FIFA appointment, the match between Belgium and France.[5][7] He also owns, with his wife Michelle, an Italian restaurant called Sottovento which is based in Farnworth (near Bolton) On 19 May 2009, he appeared on the ITV show "60 Minute Makeover", with his home getting a makeover to the tune of £20,000. In August 2009 it was announced Halsey was suffering from lymphoma of the glands and had undergone surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in his throat, of which is currently in remission.[citation needed] He is hoping to return to refereeing later on in the 2009/2010 season, with the ambition to referee the FA Cup Final.

The only incident of note which Halsey was required to act upon was the guidance given by assistant referee Martin Yerby, which led to the Tottenham penalty kick, awarded in the 70th minute when Chelsea's Wayne Bridge handled the ball, and which cancelled out their first half goal by Didier Drogba.[8] Some Chelsea players and staff were also unhappy with the timing of the full time whistle. The fourth official showed three minutes of injury time to be played, and Halsey blew the whistle just as Salomon Kalou was entering the Spurs penalty area with the ball.[9] However, Law 5 of the Laws of the Game indicates that the referee may blow his whistle at any time, and he therefore does not have to wait for an attack to finish.[10] Kalou hit the post with his shot and the game was over.
