In the DFB-Pokal in the 1986–87 season, in a tie between Hamburger SV and FC Augsburg in the Rosenaustadion, he was given the red card and as he left the pitch, he showed his middle finger to Augsburg's supporters. A more serious incident occurred in 1987 when he punched Jürgen Wegmann of Bayern Munich. [4] Because of this incident, he was fired by Hamburger SV.

He then joined Eintracht Frankfurt, where he played until 1994, when he was fired again. During this period he became one of the most popular goalkeepers ever to have played for the club.

International career

He represented the West Germany national team six times between 1983 and 1986. [5] He was a member of the West German squad defeated by Argentina in the final of the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. His international career came to an end when he called West German coach, Franz Beckenbauer a Suppenkasper, meaning laughing stock. [6] In his memoirs he denied this. He also voiced his opinion, that he was only second choice because of the pressure from Addidas, the sponsor of first choice goalkeeper Toni Schumacher.

Managerial career

In 2007, he became the goalkeeping coach of Nigeria, in 2008 of Azerbaijan under fellow German Berti Vogts.
