While footballers and managers grab all the hype and fame, the officials often get left behind. Despite holding the power of turning a team’s fortunes upside-down, you’ll rarely hear referees be household names.

Newcastle United launched their 21/22 Premier League campaign in style as the Geordies went up as early as the 5th minute against West Ham United.
