I think Essien foul is one of the worst.
He broke one defender leg, but I forgot the name of the player.

The Schumacher foul was one of the most horrendous knock i've seen in a long time. It could have killed Batiston, honestly.

Worst thing is, Schumacher was not reprimanded by the ref and he didn't make an effort to apologise to Batiston on the spot and even after the game. Apparently he says he didn't wanna apologise coz there was too many French players there and he didn't wanna make things worst by going near the player.

If I remember correctly,  it was a very bad tackle but no major injury to the player. And Essien escape the punishment from the referee too. I could be wrong tho.

Apparently he personally apologise to Battiston. He accept the apology but insisted he won't be 40 meter nearer to Schumacher if they happen to see each other.

Well you might be right on the apologising after the game. I remember reading somewhere that he didn't bother to apologise on the spot. Even looking at the video you could see Schumacher was cool even after the battered Batiston.

- Pedro Mendes got "body contact" by ex-ManCity's player. Can't remember his name.
- Sagna's clearance, unbalance. recently against Chelsea. But that one is he fall himself.
- Terry got kick in the face. By Diaby. That's a near death experience for him if Arsenal Physio Gary Lewin wasn't there.
