Pretty cool - Heidenheim vs. Union Berlin at 9:30AM EST will be televised on FoxSoccer2Go tomorrow. Good chance to possibly see him.

Almost had a great assist - was himself and his defender 1 v 1 in the box on a fast break, spun and found a teammate who was probably inches offsides. Perfect pass to his teammate who was 1 v 1 with the GK but the GK made a remarkable save.
Kevin went '78 in a 2-1 win, Heidenheim move to 6th in the table. He seems to be one of our most under-the-radar prospects, a late '98 getting regular 2. BL minutes. New Wiki page, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Lankford
Kevin Lankford has been 'bumped' up to FC Heidenheim's senior squad - playing in 2Liga - good opportunity for him (if he gets to play)
Speaking of Lankford, I just found this article about his jump to the first team at Heidenheim. They seem pretty high on him. Let's hope he can make the most of his opportunities. https://www.fc-heidenheim.de/news/d...juni/fch/startschuss-in-den-profibereich.html
Starts the 2nd half in a friendly: 46.: Mit neuem Personal: Eicher - Busch, Glatzel, Philp, Thiel, Kraus, Pusch, Widemann, Beermann, Lankford, Gnaase. #NurDerFCH— 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 (@FCH1846) June 30, 2017
He appeared in ten 2.Bundesliga matches after the winter break, so unless Heidenheim upgraded at his position it stands to reason he'll continue to be involved this year.

Again not in the squad for their second league match. Heidenheim have a DFB cup match tomorrow, so we'll see if he's there.
Not in the squad for the cup match. He's still listed with the first team on Heidenheim's website. https://www.fc-heidenheim.de/profis.html
Heidenheim disbanded their reserve team a few years ago and Lankford is too old for the U19s. It's first team or bust for him.
