Gedemütigt vom eigenen Trainer: Das dunkle Kapitel Overaths

Wolfgang Overath was a World Cup winner with the German national team in 1974 – and that same night, he stopped playing for good, knowing that his last international match had already been played. His journey took him from the gravel pitch in Siegburg, through a year-long hiatus at the age of nineteen, to becoming captain of 1. FC Köln, where he battled every tackle for 14 years – until his own coach, Hennes Weisweiler, sidelined him and even denied him the cup victory.
