This is my selection of a 25 member all-time team for the club. The number 25 was chosen because it is the official squad size for the Champions' League.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were founded in 1900, with its name derived from a Latinized form of Prussia, which was a popular name for German clubs in the former Kingdom of Prussia. The team joined the Bundesliga in 1965, and saw the majority of its success in the 1970s, where, under the guidance of Hennes Weisweiler, they captured five league championships with Die Fohlen [diː ˈfoːlən] team; a term coined as the squad were young with a fast, aggressive playing style. Mönchengladbach also won two UEFA Cup titles during this period.
Since 2004, Borussia Mönchengladbach have played at Borussia-Park, having previously played at the Bökelbergstadion since 1919. Based on membership, Borussia Mönchengladbach is the fifth largest club in Germany, with over 75,000 members. The club's main rivals are FC Köln and Bayer Leverkusen.

Squad Explanation
-- In July 2021, I accidently deleted half of my team. It was a good time to redo part of the team.
-- The
official Bundesliga website came up with their all-time Best XI:
Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Bertie Vogts, Hans-Günter Bruns, Dante, Rainer
Bonhof, Stefan Effenberg, Lothar Matthaus, Marco Reus, Gunter Netzer and
Juan Arango in 2017. My blog was completed in 2016. Moreover, this
list was only Bundesliga eras only. Two younger players, namely
Dante and Juan Arango, were not even on my honorable
mention. I am sure that the experts over there know more than I do. So I
add them on Honorable Mention. I am surprised with their exclusion of Jupp Heynckes and Alan Simonsen over Juan Arango.
-- Borussia Mönchengladbach's golden period was in the 1970's when they won 5 Bundesliga titles. They were nicknamed "Die Fohlen". Obviously, a large number of players were chosen from that generation. I have 14 players who had played in the 1970's. They are Gunter Netzer, Wolfgang Kneib, Bertie Vogts, Wilfried Hannes, Klaus-Dieter Sieloff, Hans-Günter Bruns, Ulrich Stielike, Herbert Wimmer, Dieter Danner, Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp, Jupp Heynckes, Herbert Laumen, Henning Jensen, Allan Simonsen and Jupp Heyncke.
-- In 2021, I decided to add Yann Sommer (Switzerland) to team. Uwe
Kamps, Wolfgang Kleff and Wolfgang Kneib were my original keepers. Uwe
Kamps is the all-time appearance record holder. They played together in the 1970's. Kleff was the obvious choices as he played in the greatest period of the club. Kneib actually played with Kleff. Kneib spent eight seasons in the Bundesliga with Borussia Mönchengladbach and Arminia Bielefeld. With Mönchengladbach,
he played between 1976 to 1980.
-- Yann Sommer (Switzerland) already spent 7 seasons as their starters as of July, 2021. Marc-Andre ter Stegen's name also came up, but he only spent two seasons as a starter here. He was well-known because of playing for Barcelona FC. The club enjoyed its best results since the 1970's with Sommer in goal.
-- I cannot find space for Rainer Bonhof on the midfield because of the emerge of Stefan Effenberg and Lothar Matthäus. I found him a spot as a backup rightback. The starter of course would be Bertie Vogts. He is all-time record appearance holder.
-- For the leftback position, Michael Frontzeck was probably the best known, but of course, he was not as famous as his counterback on the right. Hans Klinkhammer (Germany) and Marcell Jansen made honorable mention.
 |
| Michael Frontzeck |
-- Dante was voted into their greatest team as mentioned, but I did not rate him as high as the players from the previous generations. Hans-Günter Bruns, Wilfried Hannes, Klaus-Dieter Sieloff and Uli Stielike were very big names at their time. Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp could also play as a defender.
-- The team had too many sweepers and defensive midfielders. Herbert Wimmer and Ulrich Stielike were unsung heros of German football. Rainer Bonhof and Hans-Günter Bruns also played as a midfielder. The team was loaded with box-to-box/defensive/ holding midfielders.
-- Stefan Effenberg, Lothar Matthaus and Gunter Netzer were easy selections. Netzer is probably their greatest players while the other two were young players at the time. With the club, Stefan Effenberg made "kicker" Bundesliga Team of the Season four times. Lothar Matthäus made it once before he moved to Bayern Munich, Effenberg's honors came after he played for Fiorentina and Bayern Munich and before his second stint with Bayern Munich.
-- Heinz Ditgens was the first ever player capped by Germany while playing for the club. He made honourable mention.
-- Allan Simonsen won the Ballon d'or (European player only at that time)in 1977 while playing for them. Igor Belanov won the same award, but he was not playing for the club. His prime was played elsewhere. Simonsen's inclusion did not need explanation.
-- Marco Reus was the Bundesliga Player of the Season and German Footballer of the Year in 2012 when he played for the club.
-- Uwe Rahn was German Player of the Year in 1987. He finished as the highest scorer in the Bundesliga in the 1986-1987 season.
-- Juan Arango? Marco Reus, Allan Simeone, Uwe Rahn, Gunter Netzer and Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp all could play as an attack midfielder. How could I fit him? Granit Xhaka also could not break into the team. Everyone was the legends of the club and the Bundesliga.
-- Oliver Neuville played for them at the end of his career. Part of it was played in the lower division. I did not seriously consider him.
-- Oliver Neuville played for them at the end of his career. Part of it was played in the lower division. I did not seriously consider him.
-- I did think Albert Brülls should be on the team. I have a hard time deciding between Martin Dahlin, Frank Mill and him.
-- Lothar Matthäus, Jupp Heynckes, Herbert Laumen, Stefan Effenberg and Günter Netzer were all home grown.
Formation

Simenson was a great goal scorer on he was only 5’5.
ReplyDeleteUlrik Le Fevre was an Superb left winger in the golden period at the beginning 1970th. He should bei considered in honorable mentions.
ReplyDeleteDüring the complete 1970th Christian Kulik served MG as an outstanding midfielder, with high abilities. Unfortunately He often was injured. But He deserves a honorable Mention.
