Kevin Friend issued two yellow cards during his Premier League refereeing debut between Wolves vs Fulham, and handed out his first red three months later to Sunderland captain Lorik Cana. The 47-year-old has gone on to dictate play in 196 Premier League fixtures in total, showing 696 yellow and 20 red cards during that time, but how much does he earn? Premier League referees are salaried so they get paid a regular wage with match fees on top of that. Referees in the top-flight of England can earn as much as £70,000 per year.
