As a member of the supervisory board of Bayern Munich, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge enjoys a luxury seat with a terrific view whenever he goes to watch Bayern play in the Allianz Arena. Surely one would see this as the best seat in the house, but Rummenigge knows something is missing. And he wants to experience that something personally.
Speaking in a recent interview, Rummenigge revealed his desire to join the fans in the Südkurve.
“That’s one of the things on my to-do list. I just want to watch a game from the fans’ perspective. It’s the stands that create the atmosphere in our stadium. I’ve always wanted to experience that with the fans because we’ve always enjoyed it in the stadium – especially in the good, successful games where we gave it our all,” the former Inter Milan player admitted, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “I’ll do that as soon as possible. Like the fans, I would put on a shirt with the number and name of one of our players and would probably even join in the dance — as far as I can manage that.”
What shirt would Rummenigge wear? How long would he be able to last singing and dancing at his advanced age? Would he be able to partake in any drinking contests? The image of KHR arm in arm with fans, jumping up and down with a flushed face and belting out “Stern des Südens” is certainly a very humorous one.
