Christos Michas ( Greek: Χρήστος Μίχας; 1933 – 25 August 2010) was a Greek football referee who became the first Greek to officiate a European Cup final, the 1973 European Cup Winners' Cup Final. [1] He belonged at the Athens association.
Michas worked several high-profile matches, including four consecutive Greek Cup finals from 1968 to 1972, [2] before being selected for European competitions. His performance at the 1973 European Cup Winners' Cup Final was widely criticized, leading to an investigation. [3] UEFA banned Michas from refereeing for life following the investigation.
In 2009, Richard Corbett, an MEP for Yorkshire and Humber petitioned UEFA for a reversal of AC Milan's victory over Leeds United in the 1973 final. [4]
