Suspended Premier League ref David Coote's former colleague breaks industry silence on what 'highly-strung' official is REALLY like, after he called Jurgen Klopp a 'German ****' in leaked video

Former Premier League referee Peter Walton has opened up on what David Coote is really like after controversial remarks he made about Jurgen Klopp in a video went viral.

Coote has been suspended by Referees' chiefs after footage - which appears to be from several years ago - showed him calling then-Reds boss Klopp a 'German ****' and 'f***ing arrogant'.

The PGMOL (the body responsible for refereeing games in England) has launched an investigation and is looking into the possibility that it is a deep-fake or made using artificial intelligence.
