Reporter veteran is probably buried with Schalke icons

He was a fan of the club

Ulli Potofski should probably be buried between Schalke legends

Football reporter Ulli Potofski was a big fan of FC Schalke 04 for his life. Even after his death, he remains connected to the club.

The late football reporter Ulli Potofski is apparently to be buried between a few club legends of his favorite club FC Schalke 04. The “Bild” newspaper reports.

Accordingly, Potofski is buried on the “Schalke fan field” of the Beckhausen-Sutum cemetery. The cemetery is around two kilometers from the Schalke Veltins Arena. There, fans of Schalke can be buried – and that should also have been Potofski’s wish. Ender Ulupinar, who is also the managing director of the “Schalke fan field” and member of the club, said at the request of the “Bild” newspaper: “Yes, I was asked about third parties. It would be an honor.”

Some sizes of the “royal blue” are also buried in the cemetery. Among them, including Adolf Urban, who became German champion with Schalke in the 1930s, Willi Koslowski, who won the last championship title in 1958, “Stan” Libuda, who ran for Schalke in the 1970s, and Klaus Täuber, a striker of the 1980s.

Potofski died last Sunday after a short, serious illness. Since the 1980s he has been one of the most famous faces of German sports journalism in the service of RTL and later the Pay TV station Sky.
