Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
After three years, he joined the newly promoted Rot-Weiss Essen in the Bundesliga and he became the number one in the Rückrunde but he was unable to prevent immediate relegation for the Westphalian team. He often crossed swords with Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Regional League West and gained promotion to the Bundesliga with Rot-Weiss Essen in 1969 but was relegated again two years later. He joined relegated Kickers Offenbach in 1971 and played for the club for a season in the Regional League South before spending four years in the Bundesliga following immediate promotion.
In 1975, at the age of 32, Fred Bockholt signed for Leverkusen. The Werkself had just been promoted to the second Bundesliga North after two years in the third tier. With his experiences and good performances, Fredy played a big part in us staying up. With the exception of a few games, he was the number one under the Bayer Cross from 1975 up to ending his playing career in 1981. The highlight in his time is promotion to the Bundesliga with Bayer 04 in 1979.
After hanging up his boots, he started working as a teacher of maths and sport at the mining college in Duisburg but continues with football as a coach. He becomes the reserve and goalkeeping coach in Leverkusen and that includes training me in my first two years at Leverkusen and he was very successful primarily on improving my technique as a goalkeeper. Later he went on to coach several amateur clubs such as Preußen Krefeld, Schwarz-Weiß Essen and Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. Due to his teaching, he never had the ambition to work with professional teams.
Dear Fredy, thank you for working with me and enjoy your 80th birthday. Many happy returns and stay fit and healthy. All the best!
Heiko Scholz was born on 7 January 1966 in Görlitz. His first club as a youth player was Dynamo Görlitz. From there, he moved up to the sports school in Dresden and played in the youth teams at SG Dynamo Dresden from 1978-1982. Not considered good enough, Scholle, as he was nicknamed, had to leave the sports school to play his last two youth years at ISG Hagenwerder. Via BSG Chemie Leipzig and 1.FC Lokomotive Leipzig, who Heiko won the DDR Pokal with in 1987 and he also reached the European Cup Winners' Cup final (a 1-0 defeat against Ajax), his path finally led him back to his favourite club, Dynamo Dresden. For one million Deutschmarks, the highest transfer fee ever paid for a player in the former GDR, he moved from Lok Leipzig to the capital of Saxony in 1990.

Stefan Kießling was born on 25 January 1984 in Lichtenfels, Franconia. Even as a young boy, he spent countless hours on the football pitches of his home town, chasing after the ball and dreaming of playing football. His parents supported him, but they bring him up in a down-to-earth manner - hard work, honesty and modesty are values that characterise him from an early age. His talent became apparent early on, but his ambition was even more striking. Kießling always wants to improve, wants to give more than others.

It is Friday, 31 January 1986, the derby in Cologne is coming up and we're full of confidence after the home win against Hamburg SV a week earlier, having turned a 2-0 deficit at the break into a 3-2 victory. In particular, the Greek amateur player Minas Hantzidis, who came on as a half-time substitute, turned the game around. Two goals from Bum-kun Cha and a penalty from Christian Schreier gave us two important points in the battle for a UEFA Cup place. We are one point behind the North Germans in fifth place in the table, six points ahead of our neighbours from Cologne.
