Erich Linemayr
Erich Linemayr (24 January 1933 in Linz – 4 June 2016) was an Austrian football referee. He is known for having refereed three matches in the FIFA World Cup, two in 1974 and one in 1978. He also refereed two matches in the 1980 UEFA European Football Championship in Italy and the European Cup final in 1979.[1]
His most unusual match was became return game of the UEFA–CONMEBOL play-off between Chile and the Soviet Union (who had refused to travel to Santiago for the match) on 26 November 1973. When Chile scored a goal after 30 seconds, Linemayr immediately blew off the game and declared them winners.[2][3]
