Jahn Regensburg face TSV 1860 in the German third division on Sunday (1:30 p.m.) Andreas Geipl, the ex-Lion, knows both clubs inside out and wants to help ensure that they stay together in the third division year. “The Lions still have incredible power – and an enormous fan base.
Nevertheless, it is no longer the same sixty as it once was many years ago”, says Geipl. Geipl: “A phase like the one we had now happens to every team over the course of a season.” “I had very nice years at 1860. Last year (2013/14) Friedhelm Funkel was head coach and I was even in the professional squad two or three times, together with experienced players like Gabor Kiraly, Gui Vallori and Rob Friend’s”. ‘I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. Agi was a super guy - rather quiet in the dressing room, but he always had a funny saying up his sleeve.’
