MATCH OFFICIALS
Referee: F Reid | 🏴 | Letchworth, -1960 🆘
🆘 Within 5 minutes of play starting Referee Reid had made two huge errors, incorrectly disallowing a Ron Wylie goal before ignoring the linesman's flag and awarding a wildly offside Denis Law strike. Minutes later Reid failed to award another offside against the opposition but 'keeper Sims saved. It's too much for one fan who invades the pitch to protest alongside the Villa players. Come the second half Reid blots his copybook further by booking Vic Crowe for reacting to a foul without taking any action over the initial incident.
