Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
When Bayer 04 were promoted to the second Bundesliga North in 1975 and the squad extended, Scheini was one of twelve new players to move under the Bayer Cross. He was joined by Fred Bockholt, Peter Klimke and Walter Posner, who together with Scheini formed a big part of the defensive line-up at the Werkself.
In his first season, Scheini played in defensive midfield due to his stamina and running. In the following years he plays more as a defender. Always tough against the opponents and with himself he is aware of his role at Bayer 04 together with his fellow defenders where he tries to prevent conceding goals and also for his team to again and again regain possession. When he'd done that he mostly played the ball to one of his teammates and rarely got involved with the Werkself attack. Nevertheless, he scored nine goals for Bayer 04 in 169 appearances – mainly from free kicks and corners where he often popped up in the opposition box with his aerial strength.
In 1979 he was promoted to the Bundesliga with Bayer 04 but only played 22 games in two years so he decided to move on to second division rivals Fortuna Köln in 1981. In 1984 he moved down a division to Victoria Köln where he ended his playing career.
Up to his retirement he worked for Bayer AG in purchasing.
Dear Scheini, many happy returns at 70! Have a good one and remain healthy.
Jacek Krzynowek was born on 15 May 1976 in Kamiensk, Poland, and grew up as a typical country boy. He spent his childhood less in structured training sessions and more on simple pitches, where he spent hours playing football with older boys. He realised early on that he had exceptional shooting power and enormous stamina. But for a long time, he didn't appreciate just how much talent he had. While others dream of a great career, professional football initially seems like a distant world to him that he only knows from television.

Carsten ‘Calle’ Ramelow was born in Berlin on 20 March 1974. He began his football career in the youth teams at Tasmania 73, Tennis Borussia, SC Siemensstadt and, last but not least, Hertha Berlin. It was here that he reached the DFB Pokal final in 1993 with the Hertha Bubis team, the amateur team at Hertha Berlin, against his future employer Bayer 04 Leverkusen. But even he was unable to prevent the Werkself's 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Ulf Kirsten.

The 1995/1996 season brought some innovations. For the first time, each player was given a squad number with his name printed on the back of the jersey. For the first time, coaches were allowed to make three substitutions and for the first time, three points are awarded for a win. And for the first time, I am no longer my team's number 1. I wear it on my back, but Dirk Heinen has taken over me in goal. So at first I sat on the bench a bit offended, but in the Rückrunde I realised I also had to make my contribution to the success of a team.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen, promoted to the Oberliga West, welcome VfL 99 Köln for the last game of a successful season. This time, the crowd of just 2,000 spectators saw more of a friendly than a championship match. Little fight, little goalmouth action and few moves in midfield to warm the hearts of the spectators. It takes a corner to give Bayer 04 the lead. Peter Röger is on hand with his head and nods home on 43 minutes for the half-time lead. When Karl-Heinz Spikofski increased the lead to 2-0 a quarter of an hour after the restart, the result was settled. The team from Cologne were able to reduce the deficit to 2-1 in the final minute, but in the end the spectators went home looking forward to the first season for a Bayer 04 team in Oberliga West 1.
