A former policeman who was brutally attacked by German hooligans at the 1998 World Cup in France joined a delegation from the German football federation (DFB) for its opening game of Euro 2016 on Sunday. Daniel Nivel spent weeks in a coma with severe head injuries and never fully recovered after being attacked by several German fans in Lens on June 21, 1998. The 61-year-old Nivel was joined by his wife Lorette, their two sons and a grandson as they were welcomed by DFB president Reinhard Grindel.
