The relationship between Argentine football and the name Lamolina dates back a long time and does not refer only to the recent performances. Current FIFA referee Nicolas Lamolina (39) is the son of the well-known referee of the '80s and '90s, Francisco Lamolina, who is remembered for his permissive refereeing style (opposite to that of Javier Castrilli, the other Argentine referee leader in those years ) and because he “patented” the advantage signal, running with both arms extended forward.
Likewise, the Lamolina dynasty has three generations in refereeing. Nicolas' grandfather and Pancho's father (who was also named Francisco) was a First Division referee between 1954 and 1959.
