Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Assault of Daniel Nivel
This wasn't written when this was in the news, as it happened in 1998. I first read about it in a football encyclopedia when I was a child. This was not an average case because Germans have less of a hooligan reputation than the English and  European policemen very rarely nearly lose their life like this. This event was serious enough for German authorities to take a collective guilt for it, with Nivel being invited as their guest of honour years later. Also, an organisation was made in his name.  is repeatedly being used as a knee-jerk to anything that happens recently, and in this case something that happened 18 years ago
