today's classic footie scrap is...


...actually, not exactly a scrap but more of an unprovoked attempt at murder. I am talking, of course about Harald Schumacher's attack on Patrick Battiston in the World Cup of 1982. Battiston was knocked out, lost several teeth and apparently ended up with damaged vertebrae. The ref didn't even give a free kick.

BTW this gives me a chance to put a link thru to Football Poets @ http://www.footballpoets.org/p.asp?Id=17570
