My Take
I love how Thomas Hassler completely upended my idea of what a top attacking midfielder should look like. At 166 cm he was tiny by football standards, yet his left foot did the talking, and the fact that he was twice named German Footballer of the Year, in 1989 and 1992, tells me peers and pundits saw something special. What strikes me most is the breadth of his career: a century of appearances spread across Koln, Karlsruher, 1860 Munich and Roma, plus stints at Juventus and Dortmund. A Berliner nicknamed Icke who simply went wherever the game took him.
