Tips, selfies and approachable

Omlin was also there for good moments off the pitch, such as visiting the Bayer 04 Football School in the Easter holidays, taking time out for selfies, autographs and questions from the young players. The goalkeeper also offered some tips, explaining that he likes to play chess to relax and also teaching the kids a game goalkeepers play to help practise making saves.
