Football manager Neil Warnock says the impending retirement of stalwart Premier League referee Mike Dean is “10 years too late.”
Dean has refereed 553 Premier League fixtures across a 20-year spell, and has given out more cards than any other official in the three-decade history of the division, but is reported to be bringing his on-field refereeing career to an end at the culmination of the 2021/22 campaign.
