A tribute to Horst Hrubesch

Horst Hrubesch (17 April 1951, Hamm) was nicknamed Das Kopfball-Ungeheuer (the Header Beast). He played in small clubs until the age of 24 before he was signed by Rot-Weiss Essen. There, he played well enough that Hamburger SV bought him. West Germany's match-winning hero in the 1980 UEFA European Championship final against Belgium, Horst Hrubesch scored two goals in Rome, the second of them a trademark bullet header in the 89th minute. A German champion three times, he also won the European Cup with Hamburg in 1983, captaining the team to a sensational 1-0 win against favourites Juventus in the Athens final. He also was German champion in 1979, 1982 and 1983. He scored 136 goals in 224 games in the Bundesliga and was capped 21 times.

In June 2009, he guided Germany to the final of the 2009 UEFA Under-21 Championships where they defeated England Under 21's by 4-0.
