Former Premier League referee David Coote has pleaded guilty at Nottingham crown court to making an indecent image of a child.
The ex-official appeared at Nottingham crown court on Tuesday in connection with an allegation relating to a category A video, the most serious kind, recovered by officers in February.
The 43-year-old, who wore a navy suit and black tie, spoke only to confirm his name and enter his plea during the hearing in front of Judge Shant KC.
The former referee, of Collingham, near Newark, Nottinghamshire, was granted conditional bail by Shant and told he must appear in court again on 11 December.
