Former Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt pulls no punches in his .

Hunt said: “He’s probably the most arrogant man I’ve ever met on a football pitch. At least you could have banter with players, no matter what they were like.

He showed West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli an undeserving straight red card when he went into a 50/50 tackle with Phil Jones.
