October 26, 2001 died on the former British referee Ken Aston, who went down in history as the inventor of cards. They are so firmly and organically included into the everyday life that already seems strange why they were introduced so late - only in 1970.

Ken Aston was born on January 9, 1915 in Colchester. He was 44 years working in education, including 18 years teaching school.

. After graduating in 1963, the judicial career, he has four years - from 1966 to 1970 served as chairman of the judging committee of FIFA, showing himself as a very creative person
. It was he who approved the current design of judicial forms. This he developed and introduced the concept of the fourth referee. This he modified the box side judge, that he caught the eye. It was he who organized the first workshops for arbitrators to standardize the rules. And, finally, he came up with the card.

. The most striking pieces of his biography Aston outlined in his biography: "Do you, . I was, . probably, . sole judge in the world, . who served the match with a steel helmet on his head, . respirator around the neck? "In 1940, during the war, he served the game in the factory, . which had to be interrupted due to air attack.,

"I knew about this case. On that day, heading home, I passed the intersection, but did not turn on the yellow, then red. This was repeated three times more. At the third intersection it hit me: this is a way to avoid language problems! I promoted the idea of cards and carried it to the next Mundiale. In a few weeks, this practice has spread around the world. If I had patented his idea - probably would be a millionaire.
