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

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 the PGMOL 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 has launched an investigation and is looking into the possibility that it is a deep-fake or made using artificial intelligence.

Coote, 42, has now reportedly admitted it is genuine, but does not recall the contents of the entire conversation.
