Despite the Guerin Sportivo history of the World Cup and FIFA website, he was never called Antoine. The FIFA website also calls him Arthur! So do any number of sources, e.g. Leeuwarder Courant 29 Oct 1956 ('de Belg Albert Alsteen als scheidrechter aangewezen. Hij wort geassisteerd door zijn landgenoten Arthur Blavier en Gaston Grandin.'), Algemeen Handelsblad 8 Dec 1961 ('De scheidsrechter international Arthur Blavier') and 12 Jan 1962 ('Arthur Blavier is de auteur van het voetbaldrama'), and Limburgsch dagblad 28 Aug 1963: headline 'Belg Blavier leidt Luxembourg-Nederland', text 'De Belg Arthur Blavier zal de wedstrijd Luxembourg-Nederland'.

Above all, there's a 1965 Hungarian book by István Smos, with articles by many international referees, e.g. Arthur E. Ellis, Erich Steiner, Leo Horn, Pierre Schwinte - and Arthur Aimé Ghislain Blavier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.201.56 (talk) 04:20, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
