Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
After brief guest appearances for Hassia Bingen and SV Wehen the 1.74 metre tall but very quick centre forward joined the Bayer 04 second team in 1997 but he was also in the senior squad. In his first season under the Bayer Cross he scored 20 goals in 30 games in the Oberliga Nordrhein but only made his Bundesliga debut in the second year at Bayer 04. He came on as a substitute on 83 minutes on the second matchday in Freiburg.
He scored his first Bundesliga goal in his third game. On 85 minutes, six minutes after coming on, he scores the winner at 3-2 away to Eintracht Frankfurt after being 2-0 down. He pulls off the same trick again two weeks later – again six minutes after coming on this time on 53 minutes and he scores twice within a minute. He scores goals number six and seven for Bayer 04 on 59 and 60 minutes in an 8-2 away win at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Thommy played 30 games for our team and scored five goals. As he very rarely played in his third season for the Werkself he moved on to league rivals Eintracht Frankfurt.
After playing for Energie Cottbus and KFC Uerdingen 05 he joined VfL Osnabrück where he settled down. In the next six years he became a crowd favourite and was always the top scorer for his team the exception of the last year. He ended his professional playing career in 2010 and became team manager of the first team also occasionally played for the VfL second team.
In 2014 he set up his own sports agency, organising children's football camps and events in around football.
Dear Thommy, Happy 50th birthday and stay healthy!
Christoph Daum was born on 24 October 1953 in Zwickau. As a child, he moved to West Germany with his mother and grew up in Duisburg. He developed a great enthusiasm for football at an early age, even though it soon became clear that his future lay less on the pitch than on the sidelines. Even at a young age, his passion for analysing, explaining and improving things became apparent.

When the Bayer 04 players celebrated Christmas in 1960, they spent the winter in second place in the Oberliga West 2 on 20 points - but already five points behind leaders Schwarz-Weiß Essen. However, coach Erich Garske's team are struggling to get back on track in the new year. A goalless draw against Bonner FV at home at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium was followed by a 2-1 away defeat in Erkenschwick. The following home game also yielded just one point. As a result, the team's promotion ambitions dwindled to a minimum, as the gap to the coveted spot has now grown to a challenging ten points.

As league leaders, the Werkself welcomed the relegation-threatened team from Rhenania Würselen. On 4 February 1951, 5,000 spectators line the touchlines despite the Sunday carnival parades. And they see a home team that is superior on the pitch. Without Theo Kirchberg, who was ill, and Emil Becks, who was suspended, the hosts attacked the opposing goal from the start. Battling against a strong wind in the first half, Bayer 04 created chance after chance, but were repeatedly thwarted by the Würselen goalkeeper. With the score at 0-0 at half-time, Karl Heinz Spikofski tried his luck on 55 minutes and hammered the ball into the opposition net from 20 metres out. Rhenania can no longer counterattack. The siege of the Würselen penalty area continued right to the end, but the game ended in a narrow 1-0 win.
