Premier League referee Mike Dean admits he was "in awe" of some of the Premier League's "big personality players" when he was first promoted to become a top-flight official, before he eventually overcame his fears.
Veteran referee Dean will call time on his on-pitch Premier League career at the end of the current season, although he has been linked with a role in the VAR booth.
Fans have come to know the larger than life official as one of the top-flight's most confident referees, but he insists that wasn't always the case when he was around some big names.
