That the Russian linesman that gave England's controversial goal in the 1966 world cup final fought against the Germans in the 2nd world war in Stalingrad! Not only that, he was also shot and injured by them too.

I bet you didn't know that the ref on Christmas Eve 1914 during the Christmas truce was none other than Rob Styles, the reason the truce ended and war broke out again was because he gave a penalty and sent off a German for a perfectly clean tackle when they were winning 3-2.
