Who Is Simon Hooper?

Simon Hooper is a British football referee famous for officiating most Premier League matches.

Hooper was born on July 15, 1982, in Swindon, England.

In 2018, he was promoted to the Select Group, a panel of British football referees and assistant referees. Members of the group are often selected by Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).

On August 2023, Hooper had officiated during the Premier League tournament, in which Manchester United played against the Wolves.

However, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana had collided with Wolves forward Sasa Kalajdzic in the penalty area, and Hooper who was supposed to give a penalty to the Wolves, did not do likewise.

There had been protests coming from the Wolves’ supporters, but Hooper had waved it away.

Not withstanding, after the match, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief Howard Webb, apologized to the Wolves for the error.

As a result, Hooper and two VAR officials, Michael Sailsbury and Richard West, were subsequently removed from officiating for the remaining Premier League matches.

Manchester United had defeated the Wolves 1-0 at Old Trafford but fans believe that the result could have been different if they had been given a penalty.
