Career

edit

Rummenigge was born in Lippstadt, North Rhine-Westphalia. At the beginning of his career, he did not have it easy as a player with the Bayern Munich star team. He was often compared to his older brother, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, captain of FC Bayern Munich and the Germany national team. Rummenigge joined Bayern Munich in 1981 as a member of the German junior national team at the age of 17, coming from Borussia Lippstadt. His brother, Karl-Heinz, was already an international top star player. Rummenigge became a professional player in Munich in 1982 and a starter in his second season in 1983. He played for Bayern Munich till 1988. By that time his team had won the German championship three times and the DFB-Pokal two times (in 1984 and 1986).

During his career, Rummenigge was capped twice for the Germany national team and represented Germany on two occasions in 1983 and 1986.[2]

In 1988, he changed team affiliation to Borussia Dortmund. In spite of not being very popular with Borussia's supporters in the beginning, he won the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund by the end of his first season – the first title for Borussia Dortmund since the 1960s. Borussia Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 4–1 in Berlin.

In 1991–92, after the arrival of the new BVB coach, Ottmar Hitzfeld, he was appointed captain of the team. In the same year, Borussia Dortmund became the runner-up in the German championship. In 1993, he played in the UEFA Cup final for Borussia Dortmund against Juventus. Dortmund lost 6–1 on aggregate with Rummenigge scoring their only goal.

Rummenigge finished his career in the black and yellow football shirt of Dortmund in 1993. After having played 309 times in the Bundesliga and having scored 80 goals,[3] he moved on to Japan where a professional football league had just been launched. He played for Urawa Red Diamonds, Japan till 1995. At the beginning of 1996 he had to give up his career because of a severe toe injury.
