The day when: The Bundesliga on May 1st – Hamburger SV goes under, FC Bayern is angry

27 years ago? Sayonara Litti! World champion Pierre Littbarski contests his last Bundesliga game before moving to Japan.

This is usually only found in kitsch novels.

21 years ago? The card has been around for eight years, but a goalkeeper has never seen it. Until May 1, 1999, when Bavaria and Germany’s number Oliver Kahn begged for it. He is warned twice within 120 seconds and twice yellow turns yellow-red.

This impresses players on both sides. Mario Basler sounds: “Now we are masters!” Toni Polster suspects: “Now we are getting off.” It will happen.

Another Munich goalkeeper is unlucky: Michael Hofmann from 1860 Munich conceded his 41st goal of the season at 1: 4 in Rostock and had to be bald. Arrogance comes before hair loss …

16 years ago? Neighborhood help in the title race? As in 1993, the HSV can be shot down at Werder Bremen (0: 6), like at that time the Bavarians are the victims and accordingly angry. Manager Uli Hoeneß speaks of “a huge mess”, HSV coach Klaus Toppmöller at least apologizes “to all HSV fans – that is the lowest point of my coaching career.” after the 1: 2 at Bayern 2004 for the third time within six years.
