A member of the Staffordshire FA, he made his first appearance as an official in the Football League in , eight years after starting to blow the whistle in the local leagues. He only got a few matches in his first season but he quickly showed who was boss when it came to making difficult decisions.

He would have hoped for a quiet, calm-free opening appointment in December Unfortunately for him, Fulham and Everton kept the new ref very busy. As the decade wore on, Dowd started to take charge of more games per season, although he was often behind the likes of Howard Webb , Mark Clattenburg and Alan Wiley when it came to getting the higher-profile matches. He had a big decision to make just five minutes in. Some commentators believed that his foul on Agbonlahor was a professional one; denying the forward a goalscoring opportunity.

In those instances, a red card would have been given. In February , Dowd was the referee for one of the greatest-ever games in the history of the Premier League. Newcastle United stormed back from down at half-time to recover a point against Arsenal. Dowd played his part in this match, issuing a 50 th minute red card to Abou Diaby. Some Arsenal supporters felt his performance was below-par having given two penalties to Newcastle too.

In reality though, those complaints should have been more aimed at their team for chucking away such a commanding position at the interval. A staggering nine reds were brandished during the season in 30 matches — an average of almost one in every three games. His proudest moment came in when he was selected to referee the FA Cup final — always the biggest accolade for any professional referee.

The last two red cards of his Premier League career came in the same match in December This came just two minutes after Paul Konchesky had received a second booking and disappeared down the tunnel prematurely for the visitors. Dowd suffered a knee injury in this match and after missing the entirely of the campaign, the PGMOL confirmed he had retired.

It was a quiet end to a career where Phil Dowd was often one of the busier referees in the Premier League.
