Played together at Arminia Bielefeld. Wonder if Heinz liked what he saw and mentioned it to SD? (Apologies if someone else spotted this before me!).
I though it was Werling that had played with Leon at Bielefeld????? Think I read somewhere that it was him that recommended him to the club...... So its Werling that will be after the free Sky + upgrade..lol P.s Sky Sports news are running the story that he's signed on pre contract terms today... its good to know there so upto date....
According to Wikipedia it's Muller... Heinz Müller (born 30 May 1978 in Frankfurt, Hesse) is a German football goalkeeper who currently plays for Barnsley in The Football League Championship. He started his first-team career with German amateur club FSV Frankfurt in the summer of 1996 and went on to transfer to then Regionalliga Nord side Hannover 96 after one season. He subsequently spent four seasons at the club as the second-choice keeper and managed a total of eight appearances in the Second Bundesliga over three seasons following the club's promotion to the second division in 1998. He transferred to Arminia Bielefeld in the summer of 2001, but only managed one Second Bundesliga appearance in one season and a half with the club. In January 2003, he moved to FC St. Pauli and was their first-choice keeper until the end of the 2002-03 season, managing a total of 16 Second Bundesliga appearances. The club was, however, relegated to the third division at the end of the season and he went on to move to then newly promoted Second Bundesliga side Jahn Regensburg for the 2003-04 season, but managed only four Second Bundesliga appearances for the club at the beginning of the season in August 2003. He subsequently transferred to Norwegian club Odd Grenland in the summer of 2004 and played there until the end of the year before moving to Lillestrøm in January 2005. He then moved to Barnsley on a three-year contract in August 2007.[1] He has been capped 14 times for various German youth national teams.
