Referee Jon Moss receives hilarious retirement gift as career ends in controversy

Referee Jon Moss was sent a hilarious gift by a couple of Leicester stars as he rounded off his career at the King Power Stadium.

The 51–year-old oversaw the final game of his career in the East Midlands having begun in the Northern Counties Premier League over 23 years ago. He became a full-time Premier League referee in 2011 and Leicester marked the occasion in a somewhat cheeky fashion. As pictured on Foxes’ stopper Kasper Schmeichel ’s Instagram story, the club elected to hand him a signed Leicester shirt adorned with the message: “Thank you for retiring Mossy”.

The Danish goalkeeper was pictured alongside Moss, with striker Jamie Vardy also getting in on the action. Despite having rounded off his career at the King Power Stadium, the referee was certainly at the heart of the action in a controversial end-of-season affair in the East Midlands.
