Uwe Rahn (born 21 May 1962) is a German former professional
attacking midfielder
.
Career
Rahn played 318
attacking midfielder scored 24 goals that season, fourteen in the course of the final nine weeks of the season. Subsequent to this achievement, Rahn was awarded Footballer of the Year (Germany) in 1987. Shortly after, he was poised to join PSV Eindhoven as a replacement for Ruud Gullit, but a move stalled and did not take place. Less impressive in scoring the season after, Rahn's form decreased massively then and ended in pittance-like transfers to 1. FC Köln, Hertha BSC, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Eintracht Frankfurt and finally Urawa Red Diamonds
of Japan, the club where he finished his career. All the way through those clubs and years he couldn't get his form (and career) back on, something signified by the decreasing length of his spells.
Rahn, who was from time to time used as
Sweden in a World Cup qualifier on 17 October 1984. Hampered by injury, he was part of the 1986 FIFA World Cup squad of his nation but did not come to action in the tournament. Rahn also competed for West Germany at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[3]
Rahn is not related to Helmut Rahn, the 1954 FIFA World Cup-winning goalscorer of West Germany.
