Paul E. Alcock (born October 27, 1953 [ [http://www.zerozero.eu/uk/arbitro.php?id=895 Birthdate confirmation] : "zerozero.eu" website. Retrieved on March 25 2008.] ) is an English former football referee, who operated in the English Football League and Premier League. He was based originally in the Redhill area before later moving to Halstead, Kent.

Career

He became a Football League linesman in 1982 at the age of twenty eight. He then spent six years at this level before progressing to full referee status. He did not make the Premier League in its early years, but he did join its list in 1995.

His first appointment to this competition was the 2–1 home win by Coventry City over Manchester City at Highfield Road on August 23 1995. [ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=276216 First Premiership match] , 1995: soccerbase.com website. Retrieved on March 25 2008.]

On September 26 1998 came the incident for which his career is still most remembered. In a match between Sheffield Wednesday and Arsenal at Hillsborough, he was pushed over by home team striker Paolo Di Canio after having issued the player with a red card. Di Canio was given an extended ban for his actions. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/199527.stm Paulo Di Canio incident] , Sheffield Wednesday v. Arsenal match: BBC.co.uk website.

[ [http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=282367 Final Premiership match] , 2000: soccerbase.com website.
