Liverpool's new Sporting Director Jorg Schmadtke was once at the centre of one of the German Bundesliga's exciting encounters, in which he featured as both goalkeeper and striker in the same match.
The Reds announced their latest appointment yesterday, the anticipated new sporting director Schmadtke, on a three-month contract officially starting tomorrow.
The 59-year-old comes into the role having acted in a similar position with Wolsburg and Koln, as well as having his own playing career between 1985 and 1998, in which he made over 300 German top-flight appearances as a goalkeeper. Well, almost entirely as a goalkeeper.
