Bert Trautmann | English Football
The film details the journey of Bert Trautmann in his rise from German World War II soldier to English footballing legend.
Growing up in Nazi Germany, Trautmann grew up indoctrinated in the mindset of his country at the time, before his recruitment as a soldier and subsequent capture by the British in 1944. His denazification in a prisoner-of-war camp in England and the kindness of the locals led him to reject his homeland and choose instead to remain in England,where he became a goalkeeper, first for St Helens Town and then for Manchester City. His signing was originally met with protests from the club's fans due to his background, but his career ultimately came to be seen as a symbol of Anglo-German rapprochement.
Considered by some as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the game, he is ultimately most famous for winning the FA Cup in 1956 without realising he had broken his neck during the game.

Just finished “The Keeper”, one of the best stories of football for me.
