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

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for nearly 40 years, he has 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 October the Leverkusen legend looks back at TV highlights of a win against the "Cogs" from Rostock in the middle of the 1990s as well as the meeting with VfB Stuttgart five years later – the Werkself came out on top in both games through staying power.

Also in the month of October: Photos from the biggest home win in the second Oberliga West plus the first Bayer 04 match where a TV team were present. Click HERE for the articles.
