Exactly one year after his defection, he played his first Bundesliga match for Bayer 04: He came on as a substitute 82 minutes into the 1-1 draw at Bielefeld. Falko went on to make 118 Bundesliga appearances for Bayer 04 scoring 26 goals along the way. In 1985, coach Erich Ribbeck turned the centre-forward into an attacking midfielder. He only made one more appearance as a centre-forward – he wore the number nine shirt on 18 May 1988 in the UEFA Cup final and he made it 2-0 with a brilliant flying header.
He went on to play for FC Köln, Galatasaray, FC Saarbrücken and Hertha Berlin. After hanging up his boots, he immediately took the job as coach to the Hertha Berlin second team and he has continued to work in football including spells as head coach at Hertha Berlin and 1860 Munich and as the national coach for Vietnam. Today he works in the scouting section at Bayer 04 Leverkusen. I wish you many happy returns on your 60th birthday, my old teammate.
Michal ‘Katsche’ Kadlec was born in the Czech town of Vyskov on 13 December 1984.

Katsche learned German in the kindergarten at Kaiserslautern. And he played football at an early age: first as a teenager at SV Alsenborn and then for FC Kaiserslautern.

Bernd Schuster was born in Augsburg on 22.12.19 59. His first club as a teenager was local side SV Hammerschmiede. From that time there was an anecdote that a former groundsman told us when we had a Pokal game in Augsburg in 1993. Bernd was always the first person on the training ground after school. With a running track around the pitch and goals without nets, the young Bernd practised free kicks and corners in the knowledge that he had to collect the ball himself. In that way he not only practised his technique but also worked on his stamina as a teenager.
