In an exclusive extract from Mark Clattenburg’s autobiography Whistle Blower, the former Premier League referee reveals the day he crossed Sir Alex Ferguson.
Sir Alex Ferguson made no attempt to hide his fury as we walked down the tunnel at halftime during Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat at Bolton in 2007.
‘You’ve given us no f***ing protection,’ he said, among other profanities and insults. ‘You’ve got no f***ing control.’
He was accusing Bolton of bullying them and he took his anger out on me. He went on and on and would not stop.
