The book Robert Enke wanted to write himself.
How Robert Enke fought against his depression, how he made it on his way from unemployment to the gate of the national team and how he stood with those who surrounded him professionally and privately - this biography tells of this. Created in close collaboration with Robert Enkes' widow Teresa, Ronald Reng draws a picture of a man who never forgot that humility is not a bad trait even for a great goalkeeper.
Among all footballers, Robert Enke was an extraordinary personality in the German goal. An overwhelming talent at the age of 20, he was appointed to play for the legendary FC Barcelona. At 25, he was a forgotten talent, and when it seemed almost too late, he finally established himself as a world-class goalkeeper. Ronald Reng tells of successes and failures, but above all he tells the story behind the public man: Robert Enke always had an open ear for the concerns of those around him. And he himself was not spared great blows of fate such as the death of his little daughter. His suicide touched and shook Germany far beyond the world of football.
