De Wilde, Belgium's Mr. Sobriety, is now a fully paid up member of the Crazy Gang. He knew what was coming. Gunter Benko, the Austrian referee who had substituted the injured Kim Milton Nielsen of Denmark during the match, had no option but to send off the goalkeeper. In his vest, in shame, and in silence, De Wilde walked straight to the tunnel. He had a strange old tournament to look back on.
Goalkeepers often do.
