'He'd tell you to f*ck off if you were being a d*ck!' - Schmeichel on his favourite ref, Vardy stopping the port & Nigel Pearson doing the splits

The Leicester City goalkeeper has revealed some extraordinary behind-the-scenes information about life at the King Power Stadium

Kasper Schmeichel has revealed that his favourite Premier League referee is Mark Clattenburg - because the official was not afraid to tell players to "f*ck off" if necessary.

The Leicester City goalkeeper has been a mainstay for the Foxes ever since their promotion to the Premier League in 2014 and was key in their shock title success of 2016 and remains the undisputed number one at the King Power Stadium.

In his time in the top flight, Schmeichel has experienced a wide range of referees and their individual styles of controlling the game, but says Clattenburg's no-nonsense approach stands out above them all.
