Football 2000: ‘Eintracht embodies a very specific style of play. And that style is beautiful football,’ club idol Jürgen Grabowski once said. Never did the team come closer to that ideal than in 1991/92. In the marathon season after reunification, Dragoslav ‘Stepi’ Stepanović’s side did not just play football – they celebrated it.
The media dubbed the style ‘Football 2000.’ Anthony Yeboah, Lothar Sippel, Andreas Möller and others made up the best attack in the league with 76 goals. Had the season ended after 34 games, Frankfurt would likely have been Bundesliga champions.
