It brings to an finish a mammoth stint refereeing within the prime flight, which spans 2 many years since he made his refereeing bow in a recreation between Leicester Metropolis and Southampton. It was, for Dean, a quiet event. A largely controversy-free recreation was determined by only a single Gerry Taggart purpose in favour of the Foxes.
Since then, nevertheless, Dean has been a divisive determine, typically standing accused of constructing the event about him, slightly than the soccer on present.

‘I stroll out, with out being conceited – there’s a contact of conceitedness and I do know there’s – but it surely’s additionally plenty of confidence in myself as a result of I imagine in my means’, he informed the podcast.
‘I do come throughout like a showman. If the ball comes in the direction of me I’ll let it undergo my legs, I like a stepover. I like what I do and the way in which I referee. It sort of comes out I take pleasure in what I do. I’ve had this the previous 10 years.’
Having refereed probably the most top-flight video games since its inception (553 and counting), it’s no shock that he was the primary man to point out 100 crimson playing cards, whereas he has additionally produced 2026 yellow playing cards in that point, that means that on common you’ll be able to count on him to point out 3.86 playing cards per recreation.
That is greater than his fellow officials- Anthony Taylor averages 3.54 playing cards per recreation, John Moss produces 3.4 per recreation and Michael Oliver, on common, exhibits 3.29 playing cards per match.
And those who really feel Dean is faster to achieve for a crimson card have a leg to face on too. His common of decreasing a aspect to 10 males each 4.85 video games is properly forward of any of his fellow referees. John Moss, for example, reaches for a crimson card each seven video games (6.92), whereas Michael Oliver does so each 7.5 matches that he’s accountable for.
However who has Dean carded probably the most, and who has been let off calmly? 101 did the digging to search out out.
