Borussia Dortmund: My Best All Time XI

ST: Stephane Chapuisat

The left-footed Swiss hitman had exceptional dribbling and finishing abilities and as a result, quickly established himself as a legendary striker. In 228 appearances he scored 106 goals, helping Dortmund to win the Bundesliga twice, and the Champions League.

After his eight year spell, he transferred to Grasshoppers Club Zurich and again, found form. Whoever he has played for, he was a pure assassin in-front of goal, ensuring that he is a face to remember in European football.

ST: Manfred Burgsmuller

Whilst Manfred didn’t earn as many titles at Dortmund as his talent would suggest, he was a prolific scorer who scored 135 goals in 224 appearances from 1976-1983. In his seven years at the club, he didn’t win a single major title.

However, Dortmund managed to establish decent league positions throughout this period and his deadly finishing was feared throughout the league.

ST: Lothar Emmerich

Emmerich was at the opposite end of the field to Siegfried Held in Dortmund’s “average” era! Throughout his nine year spell at the club, he made 215 appearances scoring 126 goals. Whilst only winning the UEFA Cup Winners Cup and the German Cup, he nabbed two Bundesliga top scorer awards in the 1965-1966 (31 goals) and 1966-1967 (28 goals) seasons.

Drenched with scoring talent and always finding himself in useful positions, Lothar Emmerich was a class talent that is permanently remembered in Bundesliga history.
