Mark Halsey, a native of Hertfordshire, spent 12 years playing non-league football before he started refereeing in 1989. In December 1984 he played one game for Barnet before joining St Albans City and in the early 1990s Mark would train with Barnet in Potters Bar to keep himself prepared for the rigours of officiating top flight games.

Also in that year, he was promoted to Premier League referee, his first match in this competition being the 1-1 draw between Wimbledon and Coventry City on August 14 1999.

Also in 2002, he was appointed as fourth official to Mike Riley for the FA Cup Final on May 4 2002 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, where Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-0, the goals coming from Ray Parlour and Freddie Ljungberg.
