Book - Torsten Mattuschka

Torsten Mattuschka is one of the most popular footballers in the history of 1. FC Union Berlin. The fans even dedicated a song to the goal-scoring midfielder with a tendency to be overweight, the first Union player. Mattuschka wasn't a run-of-the-mill professional, though. After detours through other careers, he rose through the lower leagues and eventually became captain, derby hero, and second-division top scorer.

Sports journalist Matthias Koch has followed Mattuschka's development for many years. In this authorized biography, Koch not only lets the player speak in detail, but also numerous teammates, coaches, friends, and family members have their say, thus painting a very personal portrait of this extraordinary man.
