The Rhineland derby against 1. FC Köln has produced spectacular scorelines, famous goals and a steadily growing bitterness. Günter Netzer’s self-substitution goal in the 1973 DFB Cup final remains the most famous derby strike. Hans Schäfer is still the top scorer in the fixture, but Jupp Heynckes, Günter Netzer and Uwe Rahn are Gladbach’s standout derby finishers.\n\nHennes Weisweiler sat on the bench in 41 of these derbies — first for Köln, then for Gladbach — and his personal rivalry with Franz Kremer did much to sharpen the fixture into what it became.
