Two World Cup finals (1950, 1958) and the 1960 Olympic tournament. An impressive career. Reginald James Leafe, an outside right who had to quit playing because of an injury, died in 2001.

career

He registered to become a referee in 1937 and entered the League ten years later. Took charge of the 1948 FA Cup final (Newcastle - Man City).

clasico

Reg Leafe dissalowed four goals in the European Champions Cup 1 st round match Real Madrid - Barcelona. Some say 4 Madrid goals, some have three for Madrid and one for Barcelona, fact is Madrid lost and for the first time they were out of the competition after having won it 4 times in a row. Again some say it was more or less fixed, that UEFA wanted another winner, not Madrid again. Barcelona reached the final but lost to Benfica.

WORLD CUPS

It was 1 goal all and there was a minute left of playing time of the 1961 European Cup semi-final Rapid Wien - Benfica, when the rioting among the spectators and the player's dissent became so bad that Leafe stopped the match. Having won the first leg, the Portuguese had been spending the last minutes kicking the ball into the stands (and getting it back could take a long time in those days: they used only one ball and spectators sometimes tended to keep the ball and even play with it among themselves).
From the magazine O Arbitro, 1960 (thanks to Alberto Helder)
