Tragic

Cha Bum-kun — the swindled one: Financially damaged by his own vice-president. Eintracht vice-president Wolfgang Zenker, in his capacity as a representative of a major property group ("Südfinanz"), had lured more than 80 football professionals into risky investments through so-called "developer models." At the end of the weak 1982/83 season, he ousted the coach — leaving a trail of financial ruin among the players he was supposed to protect.

Fred Schaub — the car accident: Fred Schaub joined Eintracht Frankfurt from SV Neuhof in 1976. On January 13, 1979, he made his Bundesliga debut and scored two goals in ten appearances by the end of the season. The following season, Schaub was only a squad player with six Bundesliga appearances. Nevertheless, his talent was beyond doubt — until a devastating car accident cut his career brutally short.
