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.
