The appointment is as uncomplicated as Uwe Seeler itself. The meeting was agreed just before the outbreak of the Corona pandemic and takes place in his office in Norderstedt in front of the gates of Hamburg - the working title My life with the life says the Hamburg Football Idol right away.

Generations of our reporters accompanied him. As HSV professional, honor play guide of the national team and president of his club. The selection of title pages is correspondingly large. The 85-year-old s first look is enough to know what s wondered. If all of them are to be seen, we have to make room...
I do not regret anything in life, but one, twice I should have heard my wife.
Uwe Seeler
And he grabs himself - as he always did. On the square where he could become very loud, if the players did not want like him ( the others knew immediately when I was angry, and always said: Attention, Uwe lights up! ), And also next to it. As in 1995, when he was persuaded to become HSV president, and later on this decision stated, I regret nothing in life, but one, twice I should have heard on my wife: We would actually have no swimming pool with us Must build in the house; and Ilka also advised me then to accept the president office.
Now he grabs on his desk: scheduler, calendar, the phone - everything has to spread to all the front pages. I can not do anything that you have taken me so often in front. For this, Seeler makes what has made him so popular in addition to his outstanding sporting achievements in the entire republic - he laughs. Disarming and contagious.
In 2016, the life even dedicated his own edition from the series legends and idols. 100 pages over and with souls. He has dazed in places with which he connects personal memories; to the Bolzplatzwiese in the city park, to the parents house in Schnelsener Straße in the district of Eppendorf - and he has accompanied himself during the 90 minutes in his living room, in the Volkspark. The life, he says, was my whole career my companion. And he is still today. Even in times of digitization he sets a tradition. I have my subscription, and that will not be terminated. Every Monday and Thursday I have the life in me in the mailbox.
Now he has the life on the desk. Over 60 different covers from five decades. During the journey through the different titles he will suddenly seriously. On one side he is painted with Jürgen Werner, his former HSV colleague. I see here on the table also many faces of companions who are no longer among us.
... and still a stand-up
Seeler himself also has heavy times behind. In 2010 he was injured in the Elbt tunnel at a non-studied car accident, has since then back problems and is on the right ear deaf. In addition, he had to remove a tumor in the shoulder, got a pacemaker in 2017. A few weeks after the appointment with the life he has fallen in his house and broke his hip.

But he has always remained a standing uptake. So, as he was also in his career. In 1965 Seeler has even returned to an Achilles tendon tear. At the time, injuries of this kind meant the end of the career, but he struggled to the comeback. His state of health, the true Hamburger says, I do not want to complain.
No pride, but satisfaction
In one of his numerous interviews, Seelers talked about his father Erwin and elected words that look like a guiding principle for his life: My father has become great in the harbor, which could not be a soft egg. Whining is not anchored in his DNA. What do the many title pages still solve? Maybe proud? Seeler hesitates a moment. That s the wrong concept. I think pride does not fit so well with me. What fits better? Satisfaction, I am happy and satisfied with that I feel like being almost everywhere, that I m for actually all people on the street Uwe. Why it is like that? I think it just comes back to a back, as you are traveling yourself. And I am always open to all people.
Pride is the wrong term. I think pride does not fit so well with me.

Problems with HSV? Then a pils helped on Monday evening
One comes to him still in the sense of traveling through his career. The pages reminiscent of a time that is not affordable with no money in the world. We always had a good group at HSV. And if something did not work, we went a pils on Monday evening and have evicted our opinion. Then things were cleared out. That the kind of problem management has become more complicated today, soulers does not see. When we used to travel in Hamburg, they have also noticed people. But of course everything has become much public today. He can not remember problems with the media. On the contrary: After my Achilles tendon tear I found that the press had a lot of patience with me. And in general, in dealing with the medial evaluation, there was also its principle: I was not particularly sensitive.
14 times world class and never worse than life note 4
Something eligible enough, the football professional souler did not really have. There are also numbers for his life with the life. Impressive numbers. In the ranking of German football he was classified 14 times in the section World Class, he has never got a worse life note as the 4 in his entire career. You are a specialist magazine, he says, laughs loud to add: I ve always played so well. And still laughs. Knowing, Seeler explains, he did not have that. Decisive for him other parameters were other parameters anyway. On the one hand, I never lacked a healthy self-assessment, and the highest meaning had always for me how my trainers rated.
He has damned the press only once. Since he was already traveling as a professional employee at Adidas and during the week a lot in the car, Seeler has sometimes selected amateur clubs near his nocturnal quarters to take care of them. In a place in Hesse, a local newspaper announced that I would train on the sports field in the evening. There were so many people for training that I was written in the clubhouse until after midnight autographs and hardly slept until next working day..
