Ken Aston innovated refereeing from nearly the moment he took up a whistle. Some of his contributions were so common sense, it's difficult to imagine soccer without them. Some were so game-changing, they're considered absolute staples of the modern game. His crowning achievement is now a leading source of anguish and heartbreak in soccer; The penalty cards. Join in as we explore the surprisingly human reason Aston brought the red and the yellow cards into the Beautiful Game.
