Premier League ref Mark Clattenburg has broken his silence over the row with Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi .
The Daily Star reports the Prem referee was accused of saying “ shut up you monkey” to the Nigeria international in 2012 .
The FA accepted the player had believed the ref had racially abused him – but Clattenburg was found to have no case to answer .
Chelsea star Mikel was subsequently given a three- match ban and fined £ 60 ,000 by the FA for threatening behaviour.
.
In a rare interview , Clattenburg has spoken only about the incident and how it affected him .
He told AP : “ It was a tough moment in life and the pressures were huge.
“ It took me a little while to come back because I didn ’t know if I wanted to referee or not because I lost the love for refereeing
