Horror Tackle! Harald Schumacher...


Classic tacklage today with this infamous collision from the '82 World Cup. Keeper Harald Schumacher and French defender Patrick Battiston chase down a long ball over the top and mayhem ensues. Schumacher hits the Frenchman like a Panzer rolling through the Maginot Line, leaving him missing a couple of chiclets and his pulse. Battiston recovered and later forgived and forgave the Schuey for the challenge, noting that in future matches, he'd give him a much wider berth.
