A rock of strength in Germany's 2002 FIFA World Cup campaign, Oliver Kahn was the first goalkeeper to be voted Player of the Tournament by the media and with good reason.
National team
Kahn was third-choice goalkeeper for the 1994 World Cup and made his international debut against Switzerland in June 1995. By the time of EURO '96? and the 1998 World Cup he was second in line behind Andreas K?pke but by EURO 2000? he had taken over as Germany's No1. As captain of his country in Korea/Japan, he conceded only one goal on the way to his national team's unexpected final appearance.
UEFA EURO 2004? qualifying
Kahn's continued excellence meant Germany conceded just four goals in the eight qualifiers he kept goal in to win Group 5 from Scotland.
Club
Kahn began his career at Karlsruher SC in 1975 aged six. Hard work and an unshakeable self-belief propelled him into Karlsruher's first team in 1987 and his performances there captured the attention of FC Bayern München, who signed him in 1994.
1994: From then on honours flowed one after the other - Bundesliga titles, a UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League as well as awards for being voted the world's best goalkeeper in 1999 and 2001. Kahn has a reputation for being highly motivated and very ambitious but also revealed a softer side to his personality when he commiserated with Valencia CF goalkeeper Santiago Ca?izares after the Champions League final of 2000/01 - a gesture which won him the tournament's Fair Play award. Kahn's three saves in the penalty shoot-out had proved decisive in Bayern's victory.
2002/03: On the crest of a World Cup wave, Kahn appeared in all but one of Bayern's Bundesliga games as they cruised to the title and the German Cup.
Did you know?
In the 2002/03 season, Kahn set a Bundesliga record of 737 minutes without conceding a goal.
