Jan 27, 2020, 03:36 AM
Abraham Klein is a man who had the best view of some of football's greatest fixtures. Refereeing at three World Cups, and withdrawing from the 1974 finals based on security grounds, Klein was in the middle for Brazil-England in 1970, Italy-Argentina in 1978 and perhaps the greatest World Cup game in history, Brazil-Italy in 1982. The Israeli shares his memories and opinions from Gentile to Banks, VAR to military dictatorships, and everything in between.
