My Take
Clément Turpin earns my respect precisely because his job offers so little applause. A FIFA referee since 2010 and a UEFA Elite official since 2012, he sits at the very top of European officiating, yet a referee is only ever noticed when something goes wrong. To perform at that level while accepting that good work goes unremarked takes a particular temperament. Players' names live on; referees' rarely do. That is exactly why I want to give credit to people like him, the unseen figures who hold ninety minutes together. Turpin, to me, embodies that quiet, thankless excellence.
