If Schalke is a club who had produced great right wingers, Doomund is definetly who had a good history of producing left wingers. Again great work Greg, and thanks!
You have this Fritz Walter and not the best German player of all time?! I can understand not including Otto, but come on.
Bravo Jupp!!! Unfortunately he's facing a hard time as manager in MG these days ... especially in case of another away defeat in Frankfurt on Sunday.
