<div class=\"quote\"><b>以下是引用<i>gk_milan18</i>在2006-5-5 11:48:00的发言：</b><br/><p>另一位历史上的门神 Eike Immel</p><p><img alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.fussball-auktion.de/bilder/2110.jpg\"/></p><p>Born in Marburg, Germany, Eike Immel was 34 years old when he arrived at Maine Road in August 1995 to help the club out of a goalkeeping crisis. The Blues\' three senior \'keepers - Tony Coton, Andy Dibble and Martyn Margetson - were all out of action through an assortment of injuries, a situation that forced manager Alan Ball to spend £400, 000 on the VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper. A veteran of three European Championships, Immel was the holder of 19 German caps and had played nearly 600 games in the Bundesliga for Stuttgart, and prior to them, Borussia Dortmund and his first club, Eintracht Stadtallendorf. After signing on August 17th, he had just one training session with his new team-mates before making his debut two days later in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the season\'s opener. City\'s goal that day was scored by his fellow countryman Uwe Rosler, a man credited with being influential in persuading Immel to try his luck at Maine Road and one who helped him not too inconsiderably with his early language difficulties. Following his debut, Immel went on to play in each and every one of City\'s 38 League games of the 1995/96 season (along with Kit Symons, the only ever present in the League) as well as playing in eight more cup-ties. Standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, he was a goalkeeper who preferred to punch rather than catch the ball but continued his reputation as a terrific shot-stopper, regularly saving what was at the time a poor City side from even heavier defeats. He was such a consistent performer that even when first-choice Tony Coton got himself back to full fitness he had to contend himself with a seat on the subs\' bench. Ultimately though it was a desperately disappointing season, one that ended in relegation from the Premiership on the final day with a 2-2 Maine Road draw with Liverpool. Back in Division One, 1996/97 was a season of five managers and four goalkeepers. Immel kept his place for the first four games (two home wins and two away defeats) before losing out firstly to Dibble, then to Margetson and finally, in March 1997, to new arrival Tommy Wright. He played exactly fifty times for City before finally retiring from the game in 1998. (Ian Penney - author of The Legends of Manchester City)</p></div>88年西德队主力门将 哎
