Zoom with the Keeper Thursday

By Sean McCaffery, September 23, 2020

A great movie directed by Marcus Rosenmuller will be discussed with Marcus in one of our future Zoom sessions. A soccer movie on the life of Bert Troutmann  of Man City from 1949-'64 he is still a player near the top number of games for the team. He arrived in England as a Nazi, having been awarded the Iron Cross among other citations and was a member of the Hitler Youth. While held in England as a POW, he was taken out of the camp to play soccer and after the war, made his way to Man City.

With the beautiful of course at its core, it is really a story of redemption as he was welcomed as a player for a top team in the nation even with his history known and became a team legend as he broke his neck in a FA final yet did not leave the field.
