Hans Krankl

First thread and its about a fellow countrymen, that cant be good...

But he had his 50th Birthday yesterday and i suppose he earns a spot here. Only played more or less one season at Barca, but what a season. Won the Pichichi in his first season with 29 goals in just 30 games. His most important goal for the Blaugrana was this i guess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uBu4uaKwtk.

whatever he has done after his career, as a player he was a legend!!!!!

Seasons at club: 2 (1978-80)
- Appearances: 88
- Goals: 64

Krankl was an archetypal centre forward who was always in the right place and took advantage of nearly every chance that came his way. His famous left foot could produce an incredible shot. In his first year with Barça he produced some memorable displays and scored a variety of goals.

In May 1979 he was offered the support of the fans after he was involved in a traffic accident that saw his wife badly injured, but fortunately she survived and recovered. A few days later he helped the club to win the European Cup Winners' Cup in Basel. Krankl thanked everyone and admitted that he identified with Catalunya as if he was a Catalan.
