THE COMMENTATOR AT THE TIME : “ A Rastelli-like feat . You really have to be able to play football to do that .“
I WAS ON
MY OWN – AND HAD TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL
KARL-HEINZ RUMMENIGGE – 18 OCTOBER 1980 ( AND 23 SEPTEMBER 1981 FOR GERMANY )
“ I can clearly remember both of my ‘ Goals of the Year ‘: In 1980 , the opener against VfL Bochum on three minutes was the only goal of the game – and born out of necessity , if I ‘ m honest . I had my back to the goal , surrounded by Bochum players , the only one of us anywhere near the goal . So I had to juggle the ball three times until I said to myself : now you have to have a shot . It looped over the keeper and was a technically demanding strike – but wasn ‘ t planned that way . I had to do something special to actually even get a shot off . Almost exactly 12 months later , I scored three goals in a 7-1 win against Finland with Germany and the one to make it 2-1 was voted ‘ Goal of the Year ‘. The most spectacular part of that goal was actually the assist when Paul Breitner nodded the ball onto me ; it was his most unusual assist as heading wasn ‘ t one of his strengths . 1980 , 1981 was the heyday of the ‘ Breitnigge ‘ duo and that fits in with this goal . We had the best World Cup qualifying campaign in the history of German football : 16 points , 33 goals for and three against . My grandson Dante likes to have a look at the medals for the Goals of the Year or Month from time to time . We then get them out and watch the films of those times on YouTube . He ‘ s really interested in football and it ‘ s nice to be able to bring those old memories back to life in that way .“
