The man with the congenital insult will turn 60 on Sunday. Toni Polster previously spoke to the ‘Krone’ about idol Hans Krankl, a schnitzel with Lothar Matthäus and the ‘disgrace’ Andi Herzog. Heinz Palme recalls a wonderful anecdote with Polster and explains why Toni’s attempts to get three goals from “unofficial” international matches recognized among football fans should be resolved: “This is not a lawsuit.”
Palme, former national team manager, emphasizes: “Anyone who now ridicules Toni for demanding recognition of these matches has probably learned nothing from history. He or she may have been one of those who made fun of Toni in particular before November 15, 1989. Perhaps also with those who booed him mercilessly in the stadium or symbolically in front of the television before the match. And Toni still scored three goals to help Austria win the 1990 World Cup. If Polster had turned his tail before the match and ended his career with an insult, the sporting and economic balance of the ÖFB would officially look different.
