Ali Bin Nasser

While Ali Bin Nasser never won a traditional trophy, his place in football history is secured by his involvement in one of the most iconic matches ever played. Being the first Tunisian to referee a World Cup quarter-final is a distinction in itself. His handling of that high-pressure game, despite the controversy, earned him respect from peers and fans alike. The fact that Maradona himself visited him in 2015 speaks volumes about the regard in which he is held.
