Rudolf Glöckner (20 March 1929 – 25 January 1999) was an East German football referee. He was the first German to be a referee in FIFA World Cup final, when he officiated the 1970 FIFA World Cup final between Brazil and Italy in Mexico City.
He was a referee at the 1964 and 1972 Summer Olympics, the 1970 FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Euro 1972. He also officiated the second legs of the 1971 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final, the 1973 European Super Cup, and the 1976 UEFA Cup final.[1]
During the second leg of the UEFA Euro 1976 qualifying quarter-finals between Wales and Yugoslavia, he had to be escorted off the pitch by 16 police officers, after Welsh fans reacted violently to some of his decisions.[2]
