Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville train with Premier League referees and take the linesman challenge

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have found out just how tough the life of a Premier League referee is.

The punditry duo were put through their paces as part of Sky Sports's documentary The Referees - Onside with Carragher & Neville, taking part in a series of drills.

One of them saw Carragher and Neville performing shuttle runs as part of a bleep test, which was used to demonstrate the fitness required to be an official in the top flight.
