Bert Trautmann

by blue mosaics (U4753)

Anyone see the documentary on Trautmann late last night on TV?

The only man ever to receive the Iron Cross, an OBE and Footballer of The Year.

A City legend.

Hi BB. There's two biographies - Trautmann's Journey and Trautmann's Biography. Which do you recommend?
