Mark Halsey is a former Premier League and FIFA list referee, who in his career spent 15 years officiating at the pinnacle of the English game. Mark has been through everything imaginable as a referee, including battling cancer in 2009 and returning to the game just one year later.
In the next episode of Taboo on the Terraces, I speak with Mark about what spurred him on to beat cancer and return to football, his own experience of the horrific abuse referees face, and his highlights from a career refereeing top flight football.
