For those that don't venture inside ISOR - World Cup Historical
Record

Been recently turning my hand to a little side project - to
catalogue each World Cup Finals Fixture ever played - and the
full officiating details for each game.
This was inspired by finding out that Concetto Lo Bello refereed
at a World Cup Finals (to which I was unaware).
I've started building the site here:
HTML http://worldcup.bafra77.co.uk
- and have all the details in for
the 1930 Finals.
Clicking on each Official in the match page (where they are
highlighted in blue) - will take you through to a profile page -
detailing, amongst other things, how many games they did, who
played and in what capacity they officiated that fixture.
On each Referee profile page (eg.
HTML http://worldcup.bafra77.co.uk/player/john-langenus/
) - next to
their name is a number.
This is the order in which they refereed their first game (a bit
like Test Match Cricketers have on their shirts to denote in
which order they debuted for their country - so Langenus was the
8th different referee to referee a World Cup Finals game.
I'll hopefully be able to pull that numbering through to 2018
eventually - which will be interesting to see the results.

Much appreciated.
I have loaded in all of 1930 and 1934 - going to try to get one
tournament a day done.
I will also possibly build some pages listing each nation and
the officials they sent to the tournament - have already
discovered that the first official from an African FA was all
the way back in 1934 - when the Egyptian Youssuf Mohamed was one
of the Linesmen for the Czechoslovakia vs. Switzerland Quarter
Final in Turin.

So - the full list of Referees in the order they refereed their
first World Cup game is now up on the site.
HTML http://worldcup.bafra77.co.uk/all-time-officials/chronological-list-of-referees/
Up until the end of the 2018 tournament - there have been 381
different ones.
A few milestones:
#1 - Domingo Lombardi - Uruguay - 1930
#50 - Bill Ling - England - 1954
#100 - Jim Finney - England - 1966
#150 - Sergio Gonella - Italy - 1978
#200 - Valeri Butenko - Soviet Union - 1986
#250 - Rodrigo Badilla - Costa Rica - 1994
#300 - Óscar Ruiz - Colombia - 2002
#350 - Björn Kuipers - 2014

hi,
sadly, looks as if this resource isn't available anymore or it's
moved - clicking hyperlinks suggests 'this site can't be
reached' and that the server ip address could not be found
