Kurt Meyer (February 4, 1921 – August 23, 2008), nicknamed ''Meyer 15'' or respectfully ''Fußballopa'' (Soccer Grandpa), was a German amateur soccer player for ''Blau-Weiß Post Recklinghausen''. He achieved nationwide fame when he scored the German ''ARD Goal of the Month'' and later the ''ARD Goal of the Year'' in 2001 at age 80. He is by far the oldest player to have won any of these awards. The goal itself, scored in the match of ''Blau-Weiß-Post Recklinghausen'' against ''FC Jung-Siegfried Hillerheide'' was a strong 15-yard blast over the goalie, filmed with amateur footage. When it was screened on TV, Meyer became an instant national hero. As a side note, he also used his fame to sign a sponsorship with a drug store. He once trained German soccer international Martin Max when he was a child. ==External links== *(Kurt Meyer awarded the ARD Goal of the Year Award ) * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kurt Meyer (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
