Clattenburg Arrested Over Sick United Lust. - Football News 24/7 Just good Friends???A bead of sweat dripped from his brow and his legs trembled like a cornered midget, but Mark Clattenburg’s pre match relaxation routine was over for another Saturday afternoon. He rolled the Manchester United squad photograph up and placed it back into his pocket before donning his kit and striding onto the field of play.
At football grounds across the country, Mark Clattenburg was regarded as the undisputed king of the whistle. He had risen quickly through the refereeing ranks and was well thought of at home and abroad but his reputation now lies in tatters after a police raid revealed his secret shame.
It would seem that Clattenburg’s only aim was to abuse his position of trust in order to get ‘very close’ to his favourite United players, nothing and no-one would stop this and if it meant cheating in front of the watching world then this was a price worth paying.
The exact number to have suffered at his hands will remain a mystery but almost every fan will have been affected at some point. According to police, Clattenburg had been displaying signs of United love for years and there may have been as many as 20 incidents during the current season alone.
Clattenburg has been a referee for over ten years and had earned the trust of those around him. Earlier in his career he was widely regarded by colleagues as the ultimate professional, highly efficient and a stickler for the rules but recently friends had become worried by his pro-Manchester United leanings.
‘We thought he was a bit star struck when he showed us a photograph of himself naked in the team bath but we got really worried when he started sniffing a pair of Darren Fletcher’s underpants’ said one friend.
There had been no official complaints from any club but some players had questioned why he always insisted on giving the United squad a full body run down in his pre match pep talk.
At work he regarded himself as above the rules and colleagues say that he felt ‘untouchable’, but his failure to award any colour card for Rooney‘s deliberate forearm smash to the face of James McCarthey during a fixture at Wigan Athletic forced police to act.
Special branch detectives raided his house to find the official carrying out ‘unnatural acts’ with a life size Fred the Red doll and a full search later uncovered pornographic images altered to make it look as if United players were blowing more than the official’s whistle.
Chief Inspector Wilson who is leading the investigation said ‘I’ve seen a lot of things over the years but the image of John O’Shea crouching over a glass coffee table will stay with me until the day I die’.
The FA have said they will look into all of Clattenburg‘s fixtures although he has been cleared to carry on refereeing until the case can be heard at the end of the season.
