Borussia Mönchengladbach is known as talent factory for good goalkeepersr. Wolfgang Kleff scratched the pedestal of Sepp Maier at the national level, Uwe Kamps not only made a name for himself as a penalty killer, and from 2011 the young Marc-André ter Stegen guarded the Gladbach Gate with outstanding performances. The authors follow the careers of eleven legendary VfL goalkeepers, describe their great years in Gladbach and interview them about their memories. This is how intensive personal portraits succeed, in which the people behind the player legend become visible. The numerous photos, some of which were published for the first time, also make the book a must for goalkeeper and Borussian fans.
