On his 75th birthday, TV legend Marcel Reif reveals how he became a football reporter, where to get the best stadium sausage and what chances Germany has in the 2026 World Cup.
Mr. Reif, are there any plans for November 27th?
There I am with my family in Scotland. Up in the Highlands, on a friend’s estate who is making it available to us. We will celebrate a Scottish birthday there.
Louis van Gaal once described himself as a “celebrant” – would that apply to you too?
Always when necessary, but not permanently. However, when a festival falls, I don’t miss it.
