Top 5 most infamous football injuries
3) Patrick Battison
Patrick Battiston was clean through on goal in the World Cup semi-final, when he was flattened by German keeper Harald Schumacher. Battiston was knocked out cold and took no further part in the match.
Not so much a challenge for the ball as an assault, Schumacher somehow managed to escape without as much as a red card while Battison was left in a coma. Quite possibly one of the most shocking football injuries ever seen in a World Cup, Battiston suffered damaged vertebrae, a broken jaw and the loss of four of his front teeth.
