Danny Higginbotham has recalled how a referee nearly ended his career by falsely accusing him of assault.

Higginbotham was accused of beating up a referee
The referee, Amand Ancion, said Wallwork pinned him up against a wall in the tunnel, while Higginbotham was also said to have laid his hands on him.
And the defender-turned-pundit has sensationally revealed the FIFA-listed official got someone to put marks on his neck and took photos of them.
Wallwork, 21 at the time, was facing a lifetime exclusion from the game, while a 20-year-old Higginbotham was looking at three years in Belgium and 12 months in England.

As the truth became clear, the bans were eventually quashed.
