Olaf Bodden (born May 4, 1968 in Kalkar ) is a former German soccer player .

Career

Bodden began his football career in the youth team of SG Hasselt (today: SGE Bedburg-Hau 05), for which he played until 1987. He then moved to the then fourth division club Viktoria Goch and became the top scorer there straight away . Two years later he signed his first professional contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach and made his Bundesliga debut on July 28, 1989 in a game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern .

In 1991 he moved to FC Hansa Rostock . On November 16, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in the game against Hamburger SV . In 1994 the then coach Werner Lorant brought him to TSV 1860 Munich , where Bodden quickly established himself in the storm and was about to be appointed to the national team.

In 1996 he fell ill with Pfeiffer's glandular fever and had to take a break for several months. In the spring of 1997 he made his Bundesliga comeback and scored three goals against Arminia Bielefeld in his second game after the break on May 10, 1997 . A short time later he suffered a relapse and finally had to end his active career in December 1997 after being unable to play for several months and suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome .

At TSV 1860 Munich he scored 25 first division goals in 67 appearances and 24 goals in 83 games at FC Hansa Rostock (including 22 goals in 61 second division games).

Since 2009 he has occasionally appeared as a trainer for the traditional TSV 1860 team.

However, after his health deteriorated further, he has been dependent on a wheelchair since 2014.
