‘Rudi recounts…’: Vollborn on Bayer 04 December highlights

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for nearly 40 years, he holds the record number of Bundesliga appearances for the club (401) and is the only Bayer 04 player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB Cup (1993). And the Berliner stayed with the Werkself after ending his impressive playing career as he worked as a goalkeeping coach for the following nine years. Vollborn now works under the Bayer Cross as a fan liaison officer and club archivist. From February 2021, the personalised Black and Red lexicon takes Werkself fans under the heading of 'Rudi recounts...' on a brief trip through the history of Bayer 04 every month...

Vollborn looks back at goals, matches, personalities and stories away from the pitch from the Bayer 04 club history. For the month of December the Leverkusen legend looks back at a video on Fischi’s big day in 1991 where the right back scores a hat-trick to fire the Werkself to their biggest Bundesliga victory up to then.

Also in the month of December: Video match action of Heiko Herrlich, birthday boy for the month of December, of Rüdiger Vollborn and a couple of anecdotes from an abandoned match between Bayer and TB Eickel from 1949. Click HERE for all the articles.
