Flemming Povlsen - The vacation European champion: Flemming Povlsen, who helped replacement entrants Denmark shock the football world by winning Euro 1992 in Sweden, joined Borussia Dortmund from PSV Eindhoven in 1990. It took the striker, trained at Real Madrid's reserve side Castilla, a long time to score his first goal for BVB. He only managed the equalizer against Hamburg on October 6, 1990. He became a regular, and his easygoing nature and tireless effort made him a fan favorite from the outset. As manager Michael Meier put it, he did not score all that often for a striker, but people loved him because he ran like a madman.\n\nIn a DFB Cup thriller at Kaiserslautern, however, he suffered a cruciate ligament injury and had to retire at the end of the 1994/95 season at just 28 years old.

At the title celebration his farewell in Dortmund became pure emotion.
