	Anders Frisk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anders Frisk (born 18 February 1963 in Gothenburg, Sweden) is an insurance agent by trade and a former football referee.
		Frisk was born on 18 February 1963 in the Swedish city of Gothenburg, and currently lives in Mölndal, his hometown.
		On September 15, 2004, Frisk was forced to abandon a match he was refereeing between AS Roma and Dynamo Kyiv at the Stadio Olimpico in the group stage of the 2004-05 Champions League after he was hit by a missile thrown from the stands as he walked off the field at half-time.

		Frisk was hit by the missile - believed to be a cigarette lighter or coin - as he left the pitch at half-time, just moments after he had sent off Roma defender Philippe Mexes for kicking out at Kiev striker Maris Verpakovskis.
		Frisk, who required medical treatment for a cut on his forehead, abandoned the contest at the interval, with Kiev leading 1-0 thanks to a Goran Gavrancic free-kick strike.
		Frisk felt his replacement was too inexperienced for the circumstances, and although the referee has the authority to call off a game, Gaillard admitted the Swede had not followed the "usual procedure".

		Anders Frisk, who has officiated at scores of vital matches, has reluctantly put away his notebook, whistle and yellow and red cards for the last time.
		Detailing a growing catalogue of harassment, Frisk said the campaign of intimidation against him had 'escalated day by day' since his performance on 23 February during Barcelona's 2-1 win in their Camp Nou stadium led to accusations of poor judgment and favouritism towards the home side from Chelsea's temperamental and controversial Portuguese boss, José Mourinho.
		Frisk's enforced retirement after 27 years as a referee has brought renewed shame on a sport which is already struggling to defend itself against claims of corruption, hooliganism and misbehaviour by big-name players.
