Greek league off after referee attacked

-

A RETIRED Fifa referee in charge of appointing match officials in Greece has suspended his duties after his assistant was injured in a street attack that triggered the indefinite suspension of the country’s football leagues. The Greek Football Associatio­n says Hugh Dallas will limit his duties to referee training following Friday’s attack on referee Christofor­os Zografos, who was severely beaten with wooden clubs. Dallas was appointed earlier this year to oversee refereeing in an effort to combat perceived corruption in the sport.
