Ananova report claims from the president of the Romanian
Football Federation, Mircea Sandu, that he put on witches
spell on Peter Schmeichel in 1989. Romania were due to play
Denmark, and Sandu claims:
"The communists threatened the entire federation, including
me, with dismissal if we lost the game against Denmark. We
hired a witch to put a spell on Schmeichel.
"The witch came to the stadium one hour before the match
started. She did her job very well because we won 3-1."
