 CSA Code of Ethics
They were "invented" 35 years ago by Ken Aston, an Englishman who sadly passed away in October 2001, having made invaluable contributions to football and to the art of refereeing in particular.
Aston was given the honour of refereeing the opening game between the host nation and Switzerland (3-1), a game that he controlled impeccably.
In 1966, hosts England met Argentina in the quarter-final at Wembley, and Aston, who was in charge of refereeing at the tournament, had to use all of his diplomacy and powers of persuasion to calm down the Argentine captain Rattín after his sending off, and to prevent the match being abandoned.

 Ken Aston Tribute
Ken's contributions to the soccer world included the development of the Yellow and Red card system for announcing misconducts and send-offs, and the design of the traditional referee uniform consisting of a fl shirt and white collar and cuffs.
Ken was a strong supporter of the referee training programs of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), appearing in a number of training videos and attending camps, clinics, and tournaments.
Ken, 86, died October 23, 2001, suffering a heart attack while recovering from recent hip surgery.

 Interview with Ken Aston
Aston: Well, you must understand the war came along, and my refereeing after a brief 3 years, really, came to a standstill, but I will still lay claim to being, perhaps, the only referee who has ever worn a steel helmet and a gas mask on his chest in refereeing kit (uniform).
Aston: You must understand that to an English referee, if he were offered a choice between refereeing the English Cup Finals at Wembley or the World Cup Finals, he would choose to referee the English Cup Finals.
Ken: It followed a particularly difficult game in the 1966 World Cup Finals between England and Argentina refereed by a referee who spoke only German, and it was quite a rough game.

 Controversy over Premiership referees
Ken sent off two Italians, Ferrini, very early in the game, and David, who kicked the head of a Chilean, but failed to punish the Chilean left winger, Leonel Sanchez, who broke the nose of the Italy inside right, Umberto Maschio, actually an Argentine, with a left hook.
Ken also refereed an FA Cup final, and always had strong and sensible ideas about the laws of the game, rightly deploring the interfering and superfluous attempts by FIFA in recent years to outlaw the tackle from behind when the laws quite clearly gave every means of dealing with it.
I suppose the equivalent of Ken Aston today, certainly in his own mind, would be David Elleray, a housemaster at the famous public school, Harrow, and one who has seldom tried to hide his light under a bushel.

Aston ran on to the pitch and, in his schoolboy Spanish, tried to persuade Rattin to depart so the game could continue.
