Stefan Effenberg is a retired German footballer. An attacking central midfielder, he possessed leadership skills, fantastic passing range, powerful shooting ability, physical strength, but also a fearsome and controversial character. In the Bundesliga alone ? where he represented most notably Bayern Munich, in six seasons in two different spells ? Effenberg collected 109 yellow cards, an all-time worst at the time of his retirement. He played for Germany on more than 30 occasions ? in a career which was cut short after a run-in with the management ? representing the nation in one World Cup and one European Championship. His nickname is Der Tiger.
