Former football star Eike Immel, 64, has lost all his assets, Sakslaisehti Welt write.
Immel, who played 19 matches in the West German national team, earned more than 10 million German marks in his career, but failed every single pitch.
– That money would have been enough for the rest of my life, laments the ex-goalkeeper Armes Deutschland in the document.
Immel lost money in the divorce and child support, but also made big mistakes.
– I made unsuccessful investments in real estate, and spent a lot of money. We never saved anything.
With the luxurious life, Immel’s financial situation deteriorated to the point that he had to borrow money from his friends and was unable to repay his debts.
In 2008, Immel filed for personal bankruptcy.
Today, the football star lives on a living allowance of 563 euros per month. He lives in an apartment owned by his friend.
