Mario Gomez and Co: The Super Marios of Football

Goalkeeper: Mario Basler

He always knew a lot of things better. Which is why he could even tell a world-class goalkeeper like Oliver Kahn what's what: "Welcome here, love there. Don't give me any crap, Olewa. I used to stand in goal too. Vodka and lemon in my left hand, red in my right. Give me the glove!" No sooner said than done: Mario Basler actually stood between the posts in a competitive match: in the Landesliga West in Rhineland-Palatinate in TuS Rüssingen's 1:2 defeat at SG Hüffelsheim. A friend of Rüssingen's coach had asked if Basler could step in. He could. Subba.
