Who鈥檇 be a ref?
Dave Woods and Kevin Brown are joined by former referee James Child.
Dave Woods and ex-England half-back Kevin Brown are joined by former referee James Child who retired in December after more than a decade of officiating at the top level. They discuss the abuse referees receive, whether they鈥檙e swayed by the crowd and how they react when they realise they鈥檝e made a wrong decision. Child also came out as gay while still refereeing and he talks how difficult it was and is for others within sport in general to make that very public decision.
