Phil Dowd is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Referee who was born on January 26, 1963 in Staffordshire, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Philip Dowd (born 26 January 1963) is a retired English professional football referee who officiated primarily in the Premier League. He is based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and was a member of the Staffordshire Football Association.
He was promoted to the Premier League list in 2001, his first match being a fixture between Fulham and Everton in December of that year. The 2014-15 season in English football was his fifteenth year refereeing in the top flight of English football.
On 28 February 2010 Dowd refereed the League Cup final between Manchester United and Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium. In the fifth minute of the match, Dowd deemed Manchester United’s Nemanja Vidić to have fouled Aston Villa’s Gabriel Agbonlahor in the penalty area. Whilst Dowd did award Villa a penalty kick, he elected not to punish Vidić; some commentators felt the offence qualified as a professional foul and therefore warranted a red card. United overturned Villa’s early penalty to ultimately win the match, and trophy, 2–1.
Dowd officiated the 2011 FA Community Shield on 7 August 2011 between Manchester City and Manchester United, also the 160th Manchester derby, at London’s Wembley Stadium. United won the match 3-2 with a last-minute winner courtesy of Nani. Dowd issued seven yellow cards during the course of the game.
