'Rudi recounts…': Vollborn on January highlights from Bayer 04

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for 40 years, he holds the record number of Bundesliga appearances for the club (401) and is the only Bayer 04 player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB Cup (1993). And the Berliner stayed with the Werkself after ending his impressive playing career as he worked as a goalkeeping coach for the following nine years. Vollborn now works under the Bayer Cross as a fan liaison officer and club archivist. From February 2021, the personalised Black and Red lexicon takes Werkself fans under the heading of 'Rudi recounts...' on a brief trip through the history of Bayer 04 every month...

Vollborn looks back at goals, matches, personalities and stories away from the pitch from the Bayer 04 club history. For the month of January, the Leverkusen legend again brings fans the sensational season of 1967/68 and also looks at the first part of the winter break.

Also for the month of January: The TV highlights of a game against Energie Cottbus from the difficult campaign in 2002/03 plus the best goals from Dietmar Demuth, Tranquillo Barnetta and Co. Click here for all the articles.
