    I suppose it's long past time that he had one, and he may have had one that disappeared, but what the heck, he's still getting games -- last season, for Garmisch-Partenkirchen in what I believe was the German sixth division.

    He an '88 who was in Leverkusen's setup as a youth player and is the older brother of former Bayern Munich academy player Kevin Durr. Stefan played collegiately at JMU, while Kevin went to the Air Force Academy and played some lower-division pro ball.

    Some of Stefan's soccer journey is here:

    Since it’s more than 50 miles, and more than an hour’s driving time from autobahn-challenged Munich to the family home in Garmisch, travel time became a serious issue for the Durr family. Kevin’s older brother, Stefan, 17, was playing for another team, based in a different Munich suburb from Bayern, until transportation became too complicated.

    “The logistics of having both boys play at different times in different places in Munich was just too much,” said Peter Durr, the boys’ father who was Army attaché in Bonn for four years before being assigned to Garmisch. He said those problems plus the burden of the rigorous international baccalaureate program the brothers pursue at MIS led the family to limit Stefan’s soccer to the school team and playing for the local club, FC Garmisch.

    Stefan responded by making the International Schools’ All-Europe team, arousing interest from U.S. college coaches and maintaining his family superiority over Kevin.

    “He’s still my little brother,” Stefan said.​
