"You are the Ref" cover

Think you know the beautiful game inside out and can do a better job than the man in black? Legendary "Roy of the Rovers" illustrator Paul Trevillion's cult classic comic strip puts you in the hot seat and asks the question: what decision would you make? Lavishly illustrated with explosive all-action images of stars from all eras, and packed with hidden treasures including fascinating and previously unseen memorabilia, "You Are The Ref" is the ultimate football book for fans of all ages. It is intended for anyone who has ever questioned a referee's provenance, suggested he should consult an optometrist, or unfairly mistaken him for a merchant banker - now it's your turn.

"Why was I never booked as a player? Maybe it was all those afternoons reading You Are The Ref as a boy... a fantastic strip by a brilliant artist. This book is a fitting tribute to 50 years of a real football classic." Gary Lineker "It takes 20 Disney drawings to produce the movement Trevilllion captures in one." Milt Neil, Oscar winning Disney illustrator."
