Oliver Kahn
Oliver Kahn (born June 15, 1969 in Karlsruhe, Germany) is a German football goalkeeper. He stars for the German national team (since 1995) and Bayern München (since 1994). He is known as King Kahn for his prowess in the game. He is the current captain of the German national team.
Kahn started his career at Karlsruher SC.
In 2002, he won the adidas Golden Ball for best player and the Yashin Award for top goalkeeper of the World Cup. He also started for his country at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004.
For unknown reasons, he does not allow his name to be used in some football simulation games such as Football Manager, where he instead appears as Jens Mustermann (Mustermann being the ficticious name used in sample IDs and passports, Jens as provocation, because it is the first name of his biggest rival, Jens Lehmann).
