Howard Webb was rated as one of the best referees in English football for a long time until his retirement.

There were always jibes about a supposed favouritism towards Manchester United for the World Cup final referee. Speaking the BT Sport Fletch and Sav show, Webb admitted that what was being said about him affected him in games that he refereed United towards the end of his career:

It might be hard to believe, but referees are human too. It's quite refreshing to see Webb admit some of these things - even if some people may not be happy about it.
