FC Bayern München

Ever since Bay­ern picked them­selves up from their slouch at the begin­ning of the sea­son, they’ve seemed unstop­pable.

Lind­sey Dean of GolTV was kind enough to speak with me about the Bun­desliga.   Those of us in Amer­ica will know Lind­sey as the voice of Hallo Bun­desliga, the league’s review show on GolTV.  Lindsey is orig­i­nally from Maine and grew up in New Eng­land; how­ever, he enrolled at the Uni­ver­sity of Copen­hagen in 1977 at […]
