Brian Lester Glanville (born 24 September 1931) is a leading English football writer and novelist He would swear, then, never to play in a World Cup again. The indulgent, flaccid English referee, George McCabe, allowed Morais to stay on the field, so that now Portugal were playing against ten men". [6]
