Toni Schumacher

Harald 'Toni' Schumacher is the famous goalkeeper of 1980s and captain of the German national football team.

However illustrious his career, though, Schumacher will be remembered for the career-ending tackle on a French attacking player, Patrick Batiston[?], in the semi-final of the 1982 World Cup. Schumacher threw himself, shoulder-first, into the path of the French forward, shattering several of the Frenchman's ribs.
