Nigel Owens is a class act.
The Welsh referee was in brilliant form last night on Twitter, absolutely roasting a football fan in the classiest of ways. It all started with Owens sharing a photo of an absolutely excellent Christmas gift idea.
The gift was a Nigel Owens mug with “This is not soccer.” written across the front of it alongside a brilliant caricature of the man himself. We actually did a little piece on it ourselves last night accidentally calling Owen’s a “former World Referee,” instead of “former World Referee of the Year.” Thankfully Owens saw that funny side and it made him smile.
Former World Referee.? Ha. Am not finished yet mind. Few more years left in these legs again i hope lol https://t.co/GCIniEGfQ0

@Nigelrefowens if you were a soccer ref you wouldn’t have to flog tacky cups to make ends meet #thebeautifulgame #globalsport
