Man In The Middle

Swarbrick, who last refereed a Leeds game when they beat Southend United 4-1 at the start of last season, took charge of 39 matches last term, showing 77 yellow cards and eight reds.

But United's supporters will remember him best for banishing Dennis Wise to the stands towards the end of Leeds' 3-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion in January 2007.
