... and then there was one.

RIP Sir Bobby, the man that stopped the traffic in Mexico City with a goal at Wembley. A gent to the end.

A terrific striker of the ball and a perfect ambassador for the sport of football.

There might be more to drinking German beer than meets the eye.

That said, on my frequent visits to der/das Vaterland with a previous employer, I would regularly find the palms of my hands would go red and itchy at some point during the evening when copious volumes of lager were being consumed. Maybe it was the sauerkraut, but you didn't get that in Italian restaurants in Nordrhein Westfalia that often. Seriously, that's where we were taken for dinner more often than not. Why would a German eat German food when he's out for the evening?

No I've never worked in finance either in case you are wondering.
