Today, July 10, is the day when a football referee used a whistle for the first time in England
Referees appeared on the football field in 1873. At that time, referees did not have the right to intervene in the game. The responsibilities of the referees are to keep track of time, pick and place players, and reconcile when players in a group do not get along.
Until 1878, football referees did not have whistles and did not know how to use them, and during the game, they tried to draw attention to themselves by announcing the decision with their voices, various signs or bells.
On July 1878, 10, a police officer was entrusted with the refereeing of a football match in London. The players were immediately shocked when the whistle blew. From this day on, football matches will not pass without a whistle.
