Howard Webb reveals the hardest player to referee

Former Premier League referee Howard Webb tells us about the player he had most difficulty with throughout his high-profile officiating career.

Webb, 55, admitted this particular player was psychologically “tough” to deal with. He said: "I've got nothing against this player - I don't know him off the pitch – but, on it, he'd sledge you during the game."

Webb now works as a television pundit and admitted he admired how the former Premier League player managed to tread the line so frequently, adding: "He would do it in a way that was not worthy of a yellow card; all he was doing was looking for a chink in somebody's armour."
