You could visit Maine Road, where we used to play (and where we played Schalke in the 70s). Its now a housing development but we still have fond memories of the place.
One of the streets on the new estate is called Trautmann Close, named after a famous German -
Bert Trautmann. He was a Prisoner of War turned goalkeeper, and was said to have learned to dive as a goalkeeper as a result of his training as a paratrooper. Obviously it must have been difficult to be German at that time, but he won the City supporters over, culminating in him playing for us in 1956 FA Cup Final. He broke his neck during the game but played on and we won.
We've had several German players in our history, but aside from Leroy of the current crop, Uwe Rösler is arguably the most popular from recent times (1990's). He has quite an interesting story too growing up in Eastern Germany, then playing for the likes of Nürnberg and Kaiserslautern (in the 1/4 Finals of the Champions League), before surviving Cancer. He has managed several teams in England (including beating City with Wigan), but is still very fondly remembered by City fans (that are old enough to remember him). He fell in love with the club and named his sons Colin and Tony after former city players Colin Bell and Tony Book. As far as I know both play for City's academy and Colin has played for the EDS in the Youth Champions League this season.
If you're after a decent pint whilst you're over, I'd suggest the Albert Schloss. You'll get your Weiß biers, Schweinshaxe and Schnitzels etc.
Once you're done, please can you find a way to post a link on here so we can see the finished piece (even if its in German)? Thanks
