Best Goalkeeper: Fred Ape

He doesn’t come to every tournament, but when he does, he leaves his mark.

Actually, he is a singer-songwriter, singer, guitarist, songwriter, cabaret artist and programme director of the famous “Cabaret Queue” in Dortmund – and he has been on stage for almost 40 years.

But he has been standing between the posts for even longer – still at 66 (we’ll skip the bit about life only really beginning then). He is still active at FC Brünninghausen, occasionally as a goalkeeper and, with all his experience, as a goalkeeping coach.

The German Media Team is always delighted when he comes along. Like in Lithuania in 2015, where of course he was named best goalkeeper of the tournament. And now again in Odessa.
