Who's The B*****d In The Black?: Confessions of a Premiership Referee - Tapa blanda

"Great fun" (Daily Mail)

"Hard to put down" (Sunday Times)

"Jeff Winter is happy to speak out and lift the lid on his time in the middle ... forthright and frank" (Scotland on Sunday)

"Will be enjoyed by all those interested in how football has evolved over the past two decades" (Daily Telegraph)

"Affords a rare insight into the referee's lot and doesn't disappoint" (Four Four Two)

During his career in the Premiership, Jeff Winter became one of our most high-profile referees - regularly called upon to take action while 40,000 fans screamed abuse at him. Since breaking ties with the FA, Jeff is now free to reveal the true referee experience with utter candidness: his dealings with the most controversial and volatile players, and his famous bust-ups with Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce and others. It is a sensational tale, packed with insight and laced with wry humour.

It is also the story of how Jeff transformed himself from terrace boot-boy to lawman on the pitch: a journey of hard knocks and comic episodes as he progressed through the lower leagues to the very top. It is quite simply the most honest account of refereeing ever written.

'Back to your usual self, Jeff, fucking useless' Sir Alex Ferguson

'He drives me nuts. An absolute prat - and you can print that as well' Steve Bruce

'I'll get the sack soon enough. Perhaps I'll send Jeff a note when the P45 arrives' Martin O'Neill
