Rudolf Rudi Voeller - A legend with both

Rudolf Rudi Voeller - A legend with both feet on the ground: before Aunt Kaethe entered football's hall of fame as a cult coach and official, he had already made history in Bremen as a player.

Rudolf Rudi Voeller - A legend with both feet on the ground: before Aunt Kaethe entered football's hall of fame as a cult coach and official, he had already made history in Bremen as a player. Voeller arrived in 1982 from relegated 1860 Munich and immediately became Bundesliga top scorer in his first season. In five years at Werder he finished runner-up three times and scored 97 Bundesliga goals.

His curly hair, moustache and all-action style turned him into a crowd favorite.
