In Lea (18) and Maria (19), Bayer 04 have two supporters in the North Stand who are very big Kies fans and they have planned a great farewell event: If your hero is leaving then he should take memories from the Werkself fans with him. Lea and Maria are already working on it – but they need the support of the fans.
The duo want to put together an album full of memories, events and photos about everything to do with Kies and they are hoping to get loads of support. Do you have a photo of Stefan after training, at an autograph session or are you still using his recipe book? Do you have lots of shirts with the number 11 on at home? Or do you want to write a couple of lines to Kies in the album? Be creative and give your support to make this event a really big hit so that Kies will always be able to look back to a great, shared time together.
How to join in:

Lea and Maria look forward to receiving the greeting messages, photos and stories and they will look to include them in the album. Contributions can be submitted up to the end of April. Join in to make Stefan Kießling's day and return a small part of what he has given us over the past twelve years.
