Uwe Kamps – Goalkeeping Legend: Kamps arrived from Düsseldorf in 1982 and stayed with Gladbach for 22 years as a player alone. He made 390 Bundesliga appearances; only Berti Vogts made more for Borussia. Later, he remained to train the next generation of goalkeepers.\n\nKamps became famous for putting his keepers through training in shorts whatever the weather, but the origin of his cult status lies elsewhere: on April 7, 1992, in the DFB Cup semifinal against Bayer Leverkusen, he saved all four Leverkusen penalties in the shootout.

Even today, that remains a DFB Cup record. In the final, however, luck deserted him and Gladbach lost to Hannover 96. In 1995, after a 3:0 win over Wolfsburg, he finally got to hold the cup properly.
