60 years of the Bundesliga: Kießling, Vollborn & Co. in big football quiz on Sky

Stefan Kießling (Club representative), Rüdiger Vollborn (Bayer 04 record appearance maker), Meinolf Sprink (Director of Fans/Community) and Sebastian Pöschke (Home end committee member and Bayer 04 fan) took part for Bayer 04. The quiz hosts were the football comedian Ben Redelings and TV presenter Thomas Wagner. The three rounds of questions are answered by representatives from a total of 21 current and former Bundesliga clubs including archivists, historians, directors and club legends. Bayer 04 record appearance maker Rüdiger Vollborn: "It was a fun and entertaining evening with unusual questions – and also unusual answers," revealed the 60-year-old.

Werkself fans who want to see how Vollborn and Co. got on, and test their own knowledge at the same time, can watch the quiz from 19.00 CEST on this Thursday night both as highlights on TV as well as on the Sky YouTube channel.
