"The one and only": Documentary on Rudi Völler now available on Sky and WOW

A special tribute to a German football legend: The pay-TV channel Sky has dedicated a documentary worth watching to the current Germany sporting director and former Bayer 04 player and sporting director Rudi Völler. In addition to Völler's impressive career, assessments from contemporaries and very private insights, the 90-minute film also covers his many years of commitment to Bayer 04. "Rudi Völler - The one and only" is now available exclusively on Sky and the associated streaming service WOW.

Völler himself, who has captured the hearts of many Bayer 04 fans with his down-to-earth attitude, his honesty and not least his success, speaks of "exclusive insights into my life and my career" in the documentary.

contributions from Calmund to Ballack

In addition to his close family, high-profile contemporaries such as Lothar Matthäus, Oliver Kahn and Otto Rehhagel also have their say and look back at Völler's rise, his greatest successes and other famous scenes such as the Frank Rijkaard spitting incident or the outburst of anger in the interview with Waldemar Hartmann.

The camera also accompanies Völler on a visit to his parents' house in his home town of Hanau and on a walk across the pitch at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, where he once scored the decisive penalty to win the 1990 World Cup title.

Völler's time at Bayer 04 is also included, with Leverkusen legends Reiner Calmund and Michael Ballack, among others, making their contributions on camera.
