Jürgen ‘Grabi’ Grabowski: supposedly the ‘best substitute in the world’ since the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, yet of course always a starter at Eintracht. The Wiesbaden-born forward and playmaker came to the Main in 1965 and spent 15 years there, scoring 109 Bundesliga goals. A tackle by Lothar Matthäus injured him so badly that he had to retire in 1980. Tragically, he could not take part in the UEFA Cup final that same year, though fans still count him among the winning generation.
