he was a great goalkeeper; unfortunately he forgot fair play during the game against france in 1982.however, his talent is an example for current goalkeepers.
ps:the picture named “the batistton incident”above is incorrect;it refers to germany vs. denmark in mexico ‘86.
all the best

I had forgotten about ‘Anpfiff” (or its English equivalent “Blowing the Whistle”) for years and years, until I re-read it about six months ago. A fascinating, absolutely mental book that puts most sports autobiographies to shame. Schumacher makes Jens Lehmann look boring.

One of the great goalkeepers of all times.It’s a pity that an unfortunate incident should mark peoples memories of him instead of his rare goalkeeping talent.He also contributed vastly to all of the next generations of goalkeepers around the world by assisting the manufacturer he was endorsing(Reusch)to create the first state of the art goalkeeper gloves-as we know them nowdays.All in all a great contributor to the game with a place among the all-time great keepers in his own right!

It’s unfortunate that Toni received such abuse for the Battison collision. The press should show pictures of him helping up the opposition or stretching Hugo Sanchez’ hamstring during a match. He was a class act and the guy was my hero. As a young goalkeeper and 25 years after that, I tried to emmulate him and the tenacity he showed throughout his career.
Does anybody know where I could get a copyof his jubilee match against the international all stars?

Great goal keeper. Very athletic and stilish on camp. Was always a pleasure to see on match!
Hero for German football

Ah yes, Pfaff was another excellent keeper of the same vintage. Mexico ‘86 was definitely one of the goalkeeper’s finest hours! Before or since, probably only the 1950s can compare in terms of the number of top class keepers playing at the same time (though we’ve got a few at the moment – they’ve not performed at the same level as a group, at the same time… yet)

The best goalkeerper of the world in the 80’s.

México 86 it’s the example. With Jean Marie Pfaff and Rinat Dasaev, were the best. Realy.

Toni Schumacher es mucho más que esa fea acción. Fue uno de los más grandes de la portería junto a Arconada, Jean Mari Paff, Dino Zoff, Filloll…
