Klaus Allofs Biography

Klaus Allofs is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on December 5, 1956 in Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany. Klaus Allofs (born 5 December 1956) is a German former professional footballer who played as a striker.

In 1981 Allofs joined 1. FC Köln, where he continued scoring at an excellent rate. In 1985–86 he only tallied seven times in the league, one goal being from 70 metres out against Bayer Leverkusen (an intended pass to a breakaway forward that bounced over the advancing Leverkusen goalkeeper), but he added nine in as many matches in the UEFA Cup, as the team lost the final on aggregate to Real Madrid. In the following season, he re-partnered with Thomas, then left the country during three years, playing in France with Olympique de Marseille and FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

Allofs retired in June 1993, aged nearly 37, after three seasons with SV Werder Bremen, still managing to score regularly. In the 1991–92 Cup Winners’ Cup he scored in the final against AS Monaco FC, in an eventual 2–0 win. In his final year, he played 16 games without scoring – the only time other than his first season that it happened in his career – as Werder won the league title. In total, he appeared in 424 league matches, totalling 177 goals. When he retired he was in joint seventh place on the list of the Bundesliga’s all- time leading scorers, tied with Dieter Müller.

Ahead of the 1998–99 season Allofs was appointed manager at former club Fortuna Düsseldorf. In April, with the club placed last in the table, he was fired.

Allofs gained nearly 60 caps for West Germany, representing the nation in one World Cup and two European Championships, including the triumphant Euro 1980 tournament.
