Farewell to East German football

from Sporting Witness · host BBC World Service

In 1990, the East German football team played their last ever match - just a few weeks before the country was officially dissolved. Only 14 players bothered turning up for the friendly against Belgium, but those that did were determined to go out on a high note. Tim Mansel talks to the former East German striker, Uwe Rosler.PHOTO: The East German team at the 1974 World Cup (AP)
