Stefan Effenberg – The Tiger: As of December 2019, Stefan Effenberg remained the only player in Bundesliga history to move from Mönchengladbach to Bayern twice. He began his Bundesliga career on the Lower Rhine in 1987 and moved to Munich in 1990 after a string of escapades — including shooting out a hotel-room light with an air rifle and parking Heynckes’s off-roader in a gravel pit. Bayern, too, only tolerated the polarizing leader for two years.\n\nAfter an unhappy spell in Florence, he returned to Gladbach in 1994, then moved to Bayern again in 1998. He won his biggest titles there, but he also won one trophy with the Foals: the 1995 DFB Cup.
His nickname, the Tiger, was born in Gladbach after he lost a bet and had a tiger’s head sprayed into the hair at the back of his neck.
