The 1966 World Cup quarter final between England and Argentina was littered with controversy. The game is controversially remembered for being referred to as 'el robo del siglo' (the steal of the century) in Argentina.However this question is regarding another controversy (concerning the above mentioned game), that resulted in one of the most significant developments in modern football. This controversy, involved the German man in Visual 1 and the man (left one) in Visual 2. As a result of this controversy, the man in Visual 3 (boss of the German man at that time), devised X, which was subsequently first used in the 1970 World Cup.
Identify X. Bonus point for solving the hint (below).
Hint: Visual 4 represents a list, add one more to complete the list.

My guess is the "red card" or the sendoff. I guess the left guy was the man who was fouled by the Visual 2 guy (Bobby Charlton??).
Not sure what the jerseys mean. Are they a list of possible soccer offenses? They have yellow and red in there.
Translators to help referee understand the players? I know the Argentinian captain was sent off for something he said which the referee didnt understand. The 6th jersey is what the translator wears (the other 5 are for the 5 match referees)
My guess is that X is the tiered yellow-red card system currently used in soccer for booking player committing fouls.
Perhaps they just used to send off players for heinous fouls before which might have so denuded the argentine ranks as to sway the result and cause outrage?
Not sure about the hint, but the green, polka dot and white jerseys are obviously completer by the yellow jersey in le tour. A blind shot :)
X = Yellow card
Picture 4 shows the different jerseys awarded to cyclists in Tour de France (time trial winner, king of the mountains, etc.) except the yellow jersey for the race leader. Yellow is the connect?
Yellow and Red Cards system was placed after that incidentsty
Numbers on the jersey? And the use of different home and away colors?
X = Yellow & Red cards ..
There were cautions but often due to miscommunication, they weren't conveyed well. I think the head of referees at the WC who devised these cards after knowing what happened with Charlton during QF of 1966 WC.. don't remember the name but might be Allston ..
Regarding the image series, is it the order of replacing the goalkeeper if he's redcarded ?
Yellow and red card system for warning and send off?
X = The system whereby referees show a yellow card for a caution and a red card for an expulsion.
1: Rudolf Kreitlin(German Referee)
2: Jack and Bobby Charlton (Included Bobby too, because he is the more famous of the brothers)
3: Ken Aston(The Head of Referees for the 1966 World Cup and Inventor of Yellow/Red Cards)
4(Hint): The yellow jersey completes that list(Classification jerseys at the Tour De France)
