Who is Michel Kitabdjian?
Michel Kitabdjian is a French former referee. He officiated at the 1975 European Cup Final between Leeds United and Bayern Munich, disallowing a goal by Leeds United's Peter Lorimer for offside and denying Leeds two penalty appeals as Franz Beckenbauer first handled the ball in the box and then brought down Allan Clarke in a tackle. Leeds fans became angry at the referee, and one fan managed to access the playing field after the final whistle. After gendarmes removed him, other Leeds fans began rioting in the stands.
Kitabdjian also served as a FIFA referee. He officiated at the 1968 Olympic tournament in Mexico City, as well as qualifiers for the 1966, 1970, 1974, and 1978 World Cups and the 1968, 1972, and 1976 European Championships.
