Anthony Taylor buys a season ticket for Altrincham every year, despite being unable to attend most matches due to his job as a Premier League referee.
Taylor has been officiating Premier League matches since February 2010 and has taken charge of 336 games to date. The 44-year-old has worked his way up the divisions, starting out in the North Premier League in 2002.
Born in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, he grew up supporting nearby Altrincham, rather than Manchester United or Manchester City. And, despite working most weekends for the past 21 years, he remains involved at the National League side, where he helps with club events.
