Two Uzbek soccer fans rode more than 6500 km(4062 miles) on bicycle from Uzbekistan’s capital Tashkent to Berlin in order to get an autograph of German team spare goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, Izvestia daily newspaper reported Tuesday.
The goalkeeper of “Bavaria” learned about his Uzbek fans, Akram Marfuzhonov and Musadzon Hornidov, from the local newspaper and said he has been shocked. “I can’t believe it, it’s inconceivable!” - Kahn said.
Although the goalkeeper was very busy on the eve of the Championship, he found time to meet with his admirers.
“It the greatest honor for me to meet with you, Mr. Kahn” - said deeply touched Marfuzhonov.
The two friends had started their trip to Berlin, where the World Football Championship 2006 is taking place, in March.
This year the former goalkeeper of combined German Football team and then a goalkeeper of Munich “Bavaria”, Oliver Kahn is playing for the German national team in the World Football Championship. This the fourth time Kahn takes part in Football Championship.
