Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
When we meet up for the final pre-match training session on Saturday, 27 August 1994, Rudi Völler is actually sat in our changing room next to me. He does the training session and travels to the training camp with us.
The next day at the team meeting, coach Dragoslav Stepanovic did not name him in the starting line-up with Rudi starting on the bench. The opponents on that Sunday were Eintracht Frankfurt who had just drawn twice.
If you look at our line-up then it appears to be very attacking:
Rüdiger Vollborn in goal. A back four of Christian Wörns, Jens Melzig, Ioan Lupescu and Markus Happe. In holding midfield Tom Dooley plays just ahead of the playmaker Bernd Schuster. Hans-Peter Lehnhoff is on the right wing and Paulo Sergio on the left and up front are Andreas Thom and Ulf Kirsten.
Bernd Schuster scored one of his three wonder goals in 1994 on 60 minutes. His shot from 50 metres out was waiting to happen – Bernd noticed before the game that Frankfurt keeper Andreas Köpke was standing far out of his goal and that he would try a long-range effort – is voted Goal of the Season in 1994. The second goal comes before half-time from a corner taken by Bernd Schuster. Markus Happe flicked it on from the near post and Ulf Kirsten volleyed the ball into the roof of the net.
Eintracht Frankfurt player Kakhaber Tskhadadze was sent off for a second yellow card offence on 57 minutes and Paolo Sergio sealed the win nine minutes later. The celebrating Bayer 04 fans increased their support further when Rudi Völler comes off the bench on 73 minutes to replace Ulf Kirsten. And the Ulrich Haberland Stadium goes wild on 90 minutes. A cross from Hans-Peter Lehnhoff is turned into the Frankfurt net by Rudi Völler to make it 4-0. The debut for the 1990 World Cup winner was a big success.
Peter Zanter was born on 11 November 1965 in Wermelskirchen in the Rhineland. His passion for football was evident from an early age: As a child, he played enthusiastically for the youth teams at SV Dabringhausen and SV Wermelskirchen. His ability and discipline did not go undetected for long - and he joined the youth section at Bayer 04 at a young age.

Boris Zivkovic was born on 15 November 1975 in the Bosnian town of Zivinice, which is now part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He played for FK Sarajevo at a young age. However, his youth was characterised by the turmoil of the wars in the former Yugoslavia. At the age of just 17, he was also called up and took part in the fighting - a fate shared by many young men of his generation.
