Legendary referee Jack Taylor dies, aged 82
Today sees the demise of Jack Taylor, a well-respected and likable English referee whose career pinnacle was the 1974 World Cup Final, where he awarded the first ever penalty in such a game. I remember Paul Breitner scoring from the spot, if I'm not mistaken, in the 21st minute. He was a very experienced ref having officiated more than 1000 games, about 100 of which were internationals,in a 30 year career. Lately, he saw Howard Webb in the last edition of the World Cup. I fear such respect will never be paid in this world of multimedia where criticism is instantly applied to every decision by the ref, real or apparent. RIP Jack Taylor.
