Bert Trautmann: Manchester City Goalkeeper Dies (1923-2013)
The goalkeeper who famously won the FA Cup after playing the final 17 minutes of the match with a broken neck, Bernd Trautmann, also known as Bert, has died at the age of 89.
Trautmann made a name for himself in England with Manchester City after originally arriving in Britain as a prisoner of war.
He played more than 500 times for City between 1949 and 1964 and was bestowed with an honorary OBE for his work in promoting Anglo-German post-war relations.
But it was his performance in the FA Cup victory over Birmingham in 1956 that made him "a true club legend", as City said after his death.
