My Take
Joachim Streich is a name that carries real weight in German football history, and I find his story moving. Born in Wismar in 1951, he became East Germany's most iconic striker, winning bronze with the national side at the 1972 Munich Olympics before moving into coaching. At 173 cm he wasn't a towering presence, which only makes his goalscoring reputation more impressive to me. He passed away in April 2022, just after his 71st birthday, and his death felt like the closing of a chapter on a vanished era of German football. A genuine legend of the old DDR game who deserves to be remembered.
