Markus Babbel - It's not only Football

The life of former professional footballer Markus Babbel was anything but straightforward: Born in Munich, he developed into a national player at FC Bayern, becoming a multiple German champion, DFB and UEFA Cup winner, European champion, and World Cup participant. However, the tragic death of his close brother and a life-threatening nerve disease that left him wheelchair-bound also shaped his life. Such blows of fate freed him to do what he believed was right. In the early 1990s, when football had not yet completely lost its innocence, he ventured out into the world, playing in England for the legendary FC Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers, becoming a Bundesliga coach, moving to Australia, marrying multiple times, and settling in the Palatinate countryside. Today, the passionate hard rock fan with an unusual story is a sought-after TV expert and still does not fit into any mold.
