Former top international referee Graham Poll proved to be quite a hit during our Euro 2008 podcasts. So, the good news is, we've got him back to join Chappers throughout the new season to discuss the football from the perspective of the men in black. Referee's and their assistants that is. And if last season is anything to go by, he'll have plenty to talk about...not that that would stop him even if there wasn't!

Before that though, we wanted to know a bit more about his life in football and his credentials as a football pundit...

Team?
Queens Park Rangers - although well lapsed due to refereeing commitments but hoping to rekindle the love next season.

Favourite player? And Why?
Cristiano Ronaldo - excitement, possibility to do anything and great at set pieces.

What kind of football supporter are you?
When England play, very vocal, usually nervous, unsurprisingly.

Best football memory?
As a spectator seeing Beckham score against Greece to ensure qualification.
As a referee, standing in the centre circle at Wembley in May 2007 at the end of the play-off final knowing that I had finished my career where and when I wanted with a successful performance with a feeling that my refereeing journey was complete after 27 years and 1554 matches.

First live football match?
West Ham vs. Leicester City in 1993; a great advantage at one end of the pitch led to a West Ham goal. It's nice when they come off!

Favourite half time pie filling?
Steak and Kidney with a cup of tea. Alternative snack would be Chips with loads of salt and a cold lager.

Best International Match?
As a spectator, Euro 96, in the stadium for Gazza's goal and on TV the performance against Holland - our best.
As a referee, probably flying to South America for final qualifier for World Cup 2002.

Graham finished bottom in our Pundit's Premier 10 leaderboard during the Euro 2008 tournament. Can he fair any better this season as he takes on the likes of Hansen, Barnes and Chappers in the Football Pools Pundits League?
