I always liked Jeff as a ref, so watching this was such a joy. His story about wanker refs mad me chuckle. When I first qualified as a ref I turned out for an under 12s game in my spankingly new pristine black kit with the local FA badge displaying proudly on my chest. As I walked onto the pitch with the ball at the start of the game I was greeted with a loud rendition of "who's the wanker in the black?" turning around I saw my wife and daughter on the touchline singing it.

Always remember bumping into jeff outside Hartlepool's ground while watching Swansea up there. Had abit of crack about him being a rubbish ref and me being welsh an liking sheep. All in good jest and took with a pinch of salt shook hands and walked away laughing, Good to see his sense of humour is still there

As a NUFC fan always thought he had a real grudge against us... But what a real eye opening podcast. Stay strong Jeff 💪...

Normally watch a single episode over a couple of nights, watched tonight’s in one go. Excellent episode and keep them coming lads 👍👏

Anyone from the Middlesbrough area know Jeff’s a great character. Funny man and like most teessiders a great laugh as it shows. Shows the true side to refs other than what the media shows. Jeff’s daughter went to the same school I went to and survived a terrible ordeal at the school which his daughter survived and another student Nicky sadly lost her life. Up the boro and Jeff winter. Best episode yet!

Been a long time since i've watched one of these all in one go.. really enjoyed that. Remember him as one of the decent ones we had at Arsenal over the years. seems a nice fella.

This is without doubt one the funniest laugh out loud interviews I've ever ever seen and from a ref !!!. Absolutely brilliant people

Fantastic podcast lads! A real down-to-earth guy you'd love to have a few beers with and laughing until your sides split from the multitude of funny anecdotes.

That was brilliant and what a great storyteller Jeff is, i could have watched this all day.....

Excellent interview. Great to hear from an ex-ref and look at it from the other side rather than just the players. Brilliant.

Fabulous interview. Loved his honesty ……. especially when he said the only reason he was a ref was because he wasn’t a good enough to be a footballer ! Clearly loves the game as we all do Cheers Jeff

Been to a sportsman's dinner when Jeff was speaking, absolutely fantastic, had the lads in stitches. Love hearing from a referees perspective. 🤙

Never judge a book by it's cover he got so much stick from fans me included but what a funny man he is ,best episode yet lads keep up the great work

Enjoyed that one lads one of the best and I’ve listened to all of yours 👍

Up there with the best yet that I've heard. In the same class as Mark Crossley and Martin Allen. Thanks so much, was proper chuckling!!!!

Saw Jeff at a gentleman's evening in Coventry and it wasn't great but this was class. Much better when he's got more time for his stories 👍

One of the best pods this, what a character. Referees have always intrigued me, what a funny bloke

Really enjoyable episode. Thanks Undr the cosh.

brilliant, massive fan of the pod and i think this is one of the best yet! keep up the good work lads

this was great entertainment honesty and very funny ,thanks lads.

Oh this should be a great pod-cast Thanks again Boys !!!!!!!!

Love how you lot forgot what Danny Mills said haha! Pure banter! Keep up the good work lads...amazing stuff!

Top class guys, Jeff was a cracking guest.

Didn't expect that to be as good as it was. Hats off to another great podcast another great guest :)

Good watch and some interesting stories. speaks a lot of sense about the game and refing too. . was a good referee too and a real character .you don't see that in refs today

This was enjoyable, and he put a good case for referees. I will now look at them differently and with greater understanding.

Good old Jeff. What a great show. Thank you all.

absolutely brilliant interview from Jeff, very straightforward talking and very funny!

Brilliant! Loved this one what a legend. Before my time but loved listening to this one

This was superb, funniest episode by far and he isn't even trying.

Hi guys! Jeff Winter seems like the perfect guy to share a few pints of John Smith's with! Great interview! Can you get some interviews with more players who mainly played in League One and League Two please? Ex pros like that offer a different and fascinating insight into football to those that ex PL and Championship pros do and loads of your audience are geeks for the lower professional leagues just like I am! Keep up the great work!

To get the other side of the coin and get a referees view was amazing. Football is all about the banter and its the one thing people miss when they stop playing. The good referees were always a part of the banter.

I didn't expect that. Huge respect for Jeff

Used to hate him as a ref, always felt he had sommat against Sheff Wed, but comes across as a great bloke on this. 👍🏻 Enjoyed it, thanks

Best one yet this lads, Jeff is top geezer. Don’t know about anyone else but nothing pleases me more than hearing stories from early 90s football.

Unbelievable… cant beat this. Legend Jeff winter

Ten minutes in and I'm loving it, great podcast boys!!

This is great lads, superb show 👍

Absolute gold this mind. What a top guy Jeff appears here. Brilliant stuff.

Jeff's reputation in the day was that he was attention seeking but I kinda always had the feeling he was just being himself and geniuine, less robotic than some other refs of his era. This interview confirmed my thought! Awesome work guys, I'd have taken an hour more of this! Cheers

What a.good human being......makes a great referee. Should be paid to train those up sand coming ...good luck pal. 👍⚽

Something else Jeff used to do if he wasn’t rostered for games was referee some of the local leagues around the Boro too. I played in a couple of these games and he was always a good craic. Heard a lot of great things about his after dinner speeches too. Typical Boro lad. Pretty humble and grounded and straight talking taking no shit. Great episode!

What a great podcast this is, one of the best.......... What a great bloke Jeff seems to be.

This is one of the classics! Get him on again with a beer inside him!

This wasn't what I expected, Jeff came over as a great guy...just shows you there only human afterall..a great podcast

Great character is Jeff really enjoyed this one had me creased every two minutes 😀

Took me a while to watch this one cos he’s a ref not a player but it turned out to be one of my faves, brilliant to see it from the other side

Really enjoyed that, in his younger days Jeff organised a bus to Leeds v boro then a night in Harrogate after the game I went with my late brother eventful day and night haha utb

Loved this one likeable fella funny and got lots of stories. Like old school refs like him had personality Mike Dean is the last of the old school refs. Fair play lads and Jeff was honest with how he sees his decision making back when he was a ref and a player was giving him some abuse
