On December 26, 1952, the game FC St. Pauli against Hamborn 07, a district club in Duisburg, was broadcast live on TV. Incidentally, the decision in favor of this cup game was due to the fact that the broadcasting station of the Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk was located next to the soccer field on Hamburg’s Heiligengeistfeld (today’s Millerntor-stadion) – this was the only way to make the broadcast possible organisationally.

8) The most significant Victory

In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, there was the biggest victory in World Cup history: Hungary 10 – El Salvador 1. El Salvador’s only goal was scored by Luis Baltazar Ramírez (El Pelé) Zapata, in the 64th minute.

9) There was a goalkeeper in the Bundesliga who scored 26 goals?

Good goalkeepers can be recognized by the fact that there is zero at the back. And at the front, that’s where most of them are, because hardly a goalkeeper is a good scorer. Hans-Jörg Butt: The keeper scored a total of 26 goals – all from the penalty point. The Bundesliga record remains to this day.

10) Football in Germany was considered an “English illness” in its beginnings and had many opponents?
