this article looks biased. it sounds like his fame was due to his 'bad behaviour', however he was thought to be the best keeper of the world in the 80's.

Fair comment. I've amended. --Dweller 11:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I believe his fame is because of his assault. Who remembers the excellent Argentinian keeper in 1990? Of Belgian keeper Michel Preud'homme? Schumacher, though he was one of the best keepers in the world, is mostly remembered for that 'challenge' on Battiston. --WbDemocrat 00:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that he is best known for 'that' challenge. I am a big fan of football and the only things I knew about him before this article was that a) He was German b) He was a keeper and c) He was involved in a controversial challenge. Also if you look at the article most of it is about the challenge! Cls14 15:43, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe he was famous because he was also World Cup runner-up twice with a stunning penalty record? And Keeper of the Tournament in '82? And because of his controversial book? Of couse, Goicoechea was good as a substitute of the Argentinian team in '90, so was Preud'homme later on. It's rather that people like to remember these incidents. This is especially stunning, since Schumacher apologized to Battiston, who accepted, by the way. You will find the same for Rijkaard and Ronald Koeman. --perelly 14:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to edit this page in hopes to make it a little more neutral. It's written as if it's been proven that this tackle was malicious in intent, and that is not clear at all from the video tape and the ref was right at the spot as it occurred, giving him a great vanatage point.

[edit] Relation to Michael Schumacher?

Is he related to Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher? The two have the same surname and they're from the same country. Scott Gall 09:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Nah. Schumacher (Michael) said he played goalkeeper because of his namesake though.

Both involved in controversial inciodents, too.

That's like saying every Smith is related with one another. Schumacher is a very common name in Germany (meaning Shoemaker).--Gavin1234 19:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

The birth places of Harald and Michael Schumacher are not far away from each other.(28 km)But if there would be any relationship,except relating to Adam and Eva,the press would have found out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.187.190.42 (talk) 23:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

There exists another Toni Schumacher from which Harald Schumacher had his nickname.Hewas born 1938 in Düren-Rölsdorf,not far from Harald Schumacher and was goalkeeper at the 1.F.C.Köln from 1960-68.But there is no more or less direct relationship between them,because they know each other and aknown relationship would have become popular.The source is the german wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.136.122.52 (talk) 20:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
