Few players polarized Borussia Dortmund supporters and media as strongly as Andreas Andy Moeller. The Frankfurt-born attacker joined BVB in 1988 and, with his pace and shooting, quickly became a crowd favorite. That changed in the spring of 1990 when Eintracht Frankfurt wanted their home-grown prodigy back.\n\nMoeller followed the call of his hometown, where the wages were still much better than in Dortmund, but he made one unforgivable mistake: over the stadium loudspeaker he declared that he would and wanted to fulfill his contract at Borussia.
He did not. He left shortly afterward.\n\nThe kitschy farewell in which club president Niebaum's daughter recited a poem ending with Andy Moeller, thank you could not have been more over the top. In 1994 Moeller returned, attracted by UEFA Cup money, and was initially whistled.
Only his slalom goal in a 3:2 derby win over Schalke broke the ice.\n\nDuring his second spell he fought off the label of eternal talent, led Dortmund to the 1995 title, and immediately produced the next cringeworthy moment by declaring the title day the best day of his life, ahead of even the World Cup and the birth of his daughter. The title defense in 1996 and the Champions League win in 1997 were closely bound up with his quality, but being Moeller, his final departure also had to be spectacular: in the summer of 2000 he joined hated rivals Schalke 04 and became one of BVB's dearest enemies himself.
