Manfred Kaltz (born 6 January 1953) is a German former
right-back.[1]
Kaltz played in the
full-back
. Their successors lured him back from France in September 1990 to give him the chance to serve his final year as a player at his old club.
In total he played in 581 Bundesliga games for Hamburger SV (HSV),[2] to this day remaining the second greatest total of an individual in Bundesliga history. An expert in penalties, the Hamburg fan-favourite scored 53 of his 76 goals from the spot, a record in the Bundesliga. Internationally he was part of the squad that won the 1980 UEFA European title.
Kaltz was famous for his right-footed
curved like a banana. They were affectionately called "Bananenflanken" ("banana crosses").[3] He often used this technique to set up hulking striker Horst Hrubesch
, whose 96 goals with HSV included many from Kaltz crosses that Hrubesch headed into the opposing goal. Hrubesch once described their partnership when he explained one of his goals with the often quoted words "Manni banana, I head, goal".
