But, here at talkSPORT.com, it got us thinking about which other teams Premier League referees support.According to official guidelines, referees cannot be appointed to their own team’s games or to take charge of teams which could have a geographical sway.“At the beginning of every season the referees’ background information is audited,” said Keith Hackett, the former head of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the organisation which makes refereeing appointments for Premier League games.“They complete a form that includes who they support, the history of if they’ve played the game and with the addresses where they are residing.GETTY17

Keith Hackett never had a problem getting his point across

“That gives you a picture that comes into use when you’re appointing. It’s about ensuring, for example, you wouldn’t appoint a Sheffield-based ref for a Sheffield team.”So, without further ado, scroll down to see if your team has a famous (or infamous) fan!
