Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
He became a youth European Champion in June 1981 with the Germany U18 team – and that as a player from a younger age group. On matchday two in the Bundesliga 2 South his coach Wenzel Halama brings him on against VfL Osnabrück on the hour mark. Three weeks later, Herbert scores his first goal in the 2-1 win against Waldhof Mannheim as a substitute. The striker played 35 games for the Lions and scored eleven goals. His strike partner in many matches is a certain Rudi Völler who ends up as the top scorer in Bundesliga 2 with 37 goals before moving north to join Werder Bremen.
Herbert moves to the West under the Bayer Cross. Coach Dettmar Cramer is able to persuade the fast and skilful striker to come to Leverkusen. A transfer fee of one million Deutschmarks makes Waas the first 'million signing' at Bayer 04. Over seven years he makes 209 Bundesliga appearances scoring 72 goals along the way. He was also above average in the DFB-Pokal with 13 goals in 19 games for Bayer 04. He was unable to make his mark on the European stage. In his 14 UEFA Cup games for the Werkself Herbert did not score but he did contribute to winning the UEFA Cup on 18 May 1988 with his attacking runs down the right after coming on as a substitute in the second half.
On 7 June 1983 he came off the bench in the international against Yugoslavia to be the first international player for Bayer 04. Two years later he is the first Werkself player to score a goal for Germany. Herbert levelled at 1-1 on 61 minutes in the 2-2 draw against Spain on 15 October 1986.
Bayer 04 and Herbert Waas part company in 1989. Bologna sign him up and he plays in Serie A for two years. He ends his playing career after a year in the Bundesliga at Hamburg SV, two years in Switzerland at FC Zürich and his final club in Germany Dynamo Dresden.
Today he lives in Munich and celebrates his 60th birthday in September. I wish you many happy returns, dear Herbert. Stay healthy and have a good one.

Since the establishment of the Bundesliga on 28 July 1962 for the 1963/64 season, there have been five Regional Leagues: North, Berlin, West, South-west and South. The champions of those five leagues qualified directly for promotion play-offs that were played in two groups of four teams. That included the two second-placed teams in the West and South-west Regional Leagues. The two runners-up from the North and the South played a qualifier for the eighth place in the promotion games.

There were high summer temperatures in Leverkusen on 25 May 1985. Matchday 32 brings FC Köln to the Ulrich Haberland Stadium with only 13,000 spectators at the derby. That is primarily due to the Werkself with Bayer 04 rarely impressing in that season and they are eleventh in the table before the game just three points ahead of sixteenth, the play-off spot. But with the two points for a win rule back then – two points were awarded for a win – and with the significantly better goal difference, the Werkself need every point to get out of trouble.

It was all or nothing on the final matchday in the Verbandsliga in the 1974/75 season. Only now would it be decided who were champions and thereby participate in the promotion games to the Bundesliga 2 North. The earlier rivals Viktoria Köln, SC Jülich 10 and Bonner SC have fallen by the wayside.
