Former Premier League referee David Coote has hit the headlines over recent months after he was seen snorting white powder and calling former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp a 'German ****' in two videos that went viral.
Coote's misdemeanours ultimately cost the official his job, with the PGMOL announcing in December that the 42-year-old had been sacked.
In an emotional interview with The Sun that was published on Monday, Coote then came out as gay, while he also spoke publicly for the first time since he was dismissed.
During his time in the game, the official rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest sportsmen in the world via the Premier League.
