Bernd Schulz


Bernd Schulz is a German former footballer. Schulz began his career with BFC Dynamo, and was part of the all-conquering team of the 1980s. He won nine consecutive East German titles, and two Cups between 1979 and 1989. He also won three caps for East Germany in 1984 and 1985, scoring one goal. He ended his career in 1993, having played for SG Bergmann-Borsig and 1. FC Union Berlin.
Schulz was at the centre of controversy in 1986, when, in the 95th minute of the championship-deciding game against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig, he earned questionable penalty kick after a challenge by Leipzig's Hans Richter. This led to the referee, Bernd Stumpf, receiving a ban, a rarity in East German football.
