Sure I remember some kid kicking the ball off the line once and the goal didn't stand.

I read a similar story once. Can't remember where though.
Some lower league match a good 50-odd years ago - Barnet vs Plymouth or something like that. It's the last minute and a striker takes a shot that's going well wide. The ref tries to jump out the way but the ball deflects off of the instep of his boot and into the net. The goal stood and the game finished 1-0.
100% true stuff. I'd love to have seen that one
