Pauly to Schumacher: “If one shouts here, I am that one! Go back to the goal immediately and take the yellow card with you!”

The long-time Bundesliga referee Dieter Pauly passed away at the age of 81. Born in Mönchengladbach, Pauly had become famous above all because of the "Sport Photo of the Year 1981", which shows him nose to nose with goalkeeper Toni Schumacher. The photographer Dieter Wiechmann, who also died last week at the age of 79, had shot the picture. The "image" was once called the "most famous referee photo of the Bundesliga". On May 1981, during the match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Koln (2-2), Schumacher shouted at him and Pauly responded: "If one shouts here, I am that one, Toni! Go back to the goal immediately and take the yellow card with you!”

From 1980 to 1990, Dieter Pauly refereed exactly 100 games in the Bundesliga, the 1986 German Cup final, the 1988 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and represented his country the 1988 European Championship in Germany. He was named Referee of the Year three times. In 1990, Pauly became the first German referee to be honoured with a farewell game, which took place in his hometown of Mönchengladbach.
