Liverpool's new Sporting Director Jorg Schmadtke was once at the centre of one of the German Bundesliga's exciting encounters, in which he featured as both goalkeeper and striker in the same match. The Reds announced their latest appointment yesterday, the anticipated new sporting director Schmadtke, on a three-month contract officially starting tomorrow. The 59-year-old comes into the role having acted in a similar position with Wolsburg and Koln, as well as having his own playing career between 1985 and 1998, in which he made over 300 German top-flight appearances as a goalkeeper. Well, almost entirely as a goalkeeper.

Alisson Becker has been there and done that, however straight up utilising a registered goalkeeper as a striker?



The score was one nil when Freiburg boss Volke Finke moved Schmadtke to striker, and eight minutes later four goals had been scored with Dortmund leading 3-2. Even more shockingly, Schmadtke had notched himself a fine assist during his brief outfield cameo, teeing up teammate Paschalis Seretis for an open goal tap-in.
