Latics captain charged

Last updated : 06 September 2002 By Dave Moore
Matty Appleby is to be charged by the F.A. after being dismissed for receiving two yellow cards in the recent game at Blackpool. Appleby is being charged with using Foul and Abusive language towards a match official, the 2nd. yellow card being given for kicking the ball away in the closing moments of the match.


If he is found guilty he will receive an additional two match ban on top of the one match automatic ban which means he will miss the Worthington Cup game against Notts County next week. Matty may make a personal appearance to answer the charge.
