Reiner Calmund, one of the most important members of management in the history of Bayer 04, is 74 today (Wednesday). Calli worked in the management of the Werkself from 1976 to 2004 and today he is active as a TV pundit and author. Many happy returns, Calli.
Keld Bordinggaard also celebrates his birthday today. The Dane has been Head of Coaching at the Werkself Performance Centre since March 2021. Many happy returns to you too, Keld.
Theo Kirchberg was also born on 23 November in 1920. The right winger joined Bayer 04 at the age of 28. In the following 23 years Kirchberg developed into one of the really big personalities as a player and coach in the long history of the Werkself. He remained closely attached to his club as a fan and spectator at the stadium up to his death on 7 February 2014. Not just today, but particularly so, we think of you, Theo.
