Borussia Dortmund: My Best All Time XI

CM: Siegfried Held

Now here’s one for the ages! Siegfried Held served his initial spell at Dortmund in the mid 1960’s and made an impression, making over 183 appearances in 6 seasons.

Whilst not the most successful player at the club, he won the UEFA Cup Winners Cup and was a runner up in the 1965-1966 Bundesliga season, helping Dortmund establish respectable league positions in his time there.

CM: Matthias Sammer

Sammer is a true club legend, being both a manager and a legendary player. As a player, he capped 115 appearances in five years winning two Bundesliga titles, two Super Cup’s and a Champions League.

Later in his managerial job, he won the Bundesliga in 2001-2002 and was the runner-up to the UEFA Cup in 2002.

No all time XI would be complete without him and he could be considered the best German CM of the 1990’s.

CM: Andreas Moller

Yet another legend to make two separate spells at Dortmund, he made 228 Bundesliga appearances. He was a respectably good player in his first spell, but upon his return, he helped Dortmund win five major titles in six years (two Bundesliga titles, two Super Cups and a Champions League). He also won the Euros with Germany in 1996.

Some fans recognise him as a “traitor” for leaving Dortmund for bitter rivals Schalke 04 (opponents in the Revier Derby). However, because of his insanely successful six year spell, many can forgive him.
