who.is refeer is playin match italy vs chile 1962?

Answer 1

It was English referee Ken Aston

Relations between Chile and Italy were already strained before there first round match in 1962 because of comments made in Italian newspapers. When the match began it was soon obvious that the Chilean hosts were out for revenge and that the Italians were not about to back down. English referee Ken Aston found himself dodging phlegm in the middle of a pitched battle. Aston sent two players off, although several might have been arrested let alone dismissed. The history books show Chile won what has become known as the Battle of Santiago 2-0.

Answer 2

ken Ashton was the referee in the 1962 Chile v Italy world cup match which Chile won 2-0.it was a very ill tempered affair and became know as the battle of Santiago.Ashton said he did not feel as he was reffing an football match but umpiring military maneovers.two Italians were sent off and armed police had to come onto the pitch 3 times to restore order amongst the players.the Chilean left back broke the nose of one of the Italian players but was not one of those sent off.so the Italian took it into his own hands.and dropped kicked his adversary.seems to me that the Chileans got a little bit of host country refereeing there.

Answer 3

Ken Aston

He was referee at a World Cup match in 1962 in Chile that has gone down in history for its brutality. Italy vs. Chile, and the home crowd was in an ugly mood over various insults from the Italian press.

His most salient contribution was the practice of displaying yellow and red cards to indicate that a player had been warned and sent off, respectively. The cards, based on an idea Aston had while waiting at a stop light after witnessing a brutal match in which the referee did not speak the players’ language, are now used universally in competitive soccer. He also introduced black uniforms for referees, and originated a long and ultimately
successful campaign to specify in the rules the proper inflation of the ball (14.7 psi).

Police were called to escort players off the field three times in a match that ended with a 2-0 victory for the Chileans. The game became a legend, having been described by a BBC commentator at the time as “the most stupid appalling, disgusting and disgraceful exhibition of football possibly in the history of the game.” Classic British understatement. Aston never officiated another World Cup game, but his reputation survived having refereed the dust up, and he went on to supervise referees in the next two World Cups.

He campaigned on behalf of his fellow referees, who were often subject to abuse from players and fans alike. “A referee is not a book with a pair of legs,” he said. “It’s a man with a book and a heart and feelings and understanding of the game. An understanding not just of the laws but of the spirit of the laws. We are talking about a game.” His dedication to his profession was legendary. When he was awarded the MBE it was for “services to US soccer,” for he had vigorously encouraged and instructed American referees.
