In 1988 he was the keeper who had to swallow the winning goal of Marco van Basten during the European Championship in the semi -final in Hamburg against the Dutch national team. He then received so much criticism that he thanked for the national team, who became world champion two years later.
Immel debuted at the age of 17 in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund. Later he kept at VFB Stuttgart. In 1997 he closed his career at Manchester City.
