The remarkable Helmut Sonneberg


Ulysses

Recommended Posts

Apologies if posted already, but this is a BBC website piece from a few weeks ago about a fella called Helmut Sonneberg.  He's an Eintracht Frankfurt fanatic and a Holocaust survivor.  It's worth reading the article.  There's also a video documentary, which I thought was worth seeing even if it's in German with occasionally dodgy English closed captions.

Gold!!!

 

 

PS I notice in the BBC piece, they mentioned Eintracht playing Real Madrid, at Hampden of course (I was there that night) but decided to leave out the fact that over two legs, Eintracht took 12 goals off Rangers.
