Throughout his league career he sent off only three players. Outside football he was the director of a Sheffield engineering company. McCabe, though awarded the 1969 FA Cup Final in his final match in England, is perhaps more well known for his handling of the Brazil versus Portugal World Cup match played at Goodison Park, Liverpool, on 19 July 1966. During that game he failed to send João Morais from the field of play after a double foul on Pelé. In 2010, The Telegraph listed it among the 10 worst refereeing errors in World Cup history.
