“They forgot me’: German World Cup hero finishes with DFB. Karl-Heinz Schnellinger is one of the great heroes in German international history.

The 84-year-old doesn't want to travel to the 2024 European Championship in Germany. “It always seems to me as if I’m a foreigner in Germany – and in Italy too,” said Schnellingers. The Rhineland native still lives near Milan and celebrated his 85th birthday there on Easter Sunday.
