On that Saturday in August, promoted Düsseldorf travelled to European Cup winners Borussia Dortmund. After a goalless first half, the ball broke for Jürgen Schult in the 65th minute. “I didn’t think.\n\nI just did my job,” and he did it well. “Their goalkeeper Bernhard Wessel was celebrating his birthday too – but his was nowhere near as lucky as mine.” His grin can no longer hide the pride in his voice.
