Sean William Dundee (born December 7, 1972 in Durban , South Africa ) is a former German soccer player of South African origin.

Career

The center forward began his football career in South Africa with Bayview Durban and D'Alberton Callies Durban . In 1992 he moved to the Stuttgarter Kickers , in 1994 to TSF Ditzingen , and in 1995 he went to Karlsruher SC in the Bundesliga . With the KSC, he reached the final of the DFB Cup in 1996, among other things .

Dundee developed into one of the best scorer in the Bundesliga (16 goals in the 1995/96 season , 17 goals in the following season) and was naturalized in early 1997 in an urgent procedure in order to be able to play for the German national team. There he only sat on the bench once, only in the A2 national team he was used once and also scored a goal. Immediately after his naturalization, Dundee did his military service in the fall of 1997 . After his basic training with the NBC Defense Battalion 750 in the General-Dr.-Speidel-Kaserne in Bruchsal , he was transferred to the sports promotion group of the Bundeswehr .

After KSC and Dundee had split up because of private affairs, among other things, he was signed by the English first division club Liverpool in 1998 , but could not prevail there. He returned to VfB Stuttgart in Germany in 1999 , but was unable to build on earlier successes there either and in 2003 moved to Austria to FK Austria Wien . After one season he returned to KSC in summer 2004, for which he played two seasons in the 2nd Bundesliga.

In May 2006 Dundee signed a two-year contract with the second division Kickers Offenbach , but was loaned to the Stuttgarter Kickers in the following winter break , for which he played five games and scored one goal in the Regionalliga Süd . In the summer of 2008 he signed a one-year contract with AmaZulu FC in his South African hometown and ended his professional career when the contract expired.

In 162 first division games Dundee scored 61 goals, in 74 second division games he was 14 times successful. He also came to three short appearances in the Premier League and 18 games in the Austrian Bundesliga , in which he remained without a goal.

Dundee suffered back problems towards the end of his career due to physical labor in his childhood and adolescence.

From mid-November 2013 he was eligible to play for VSV Büchig in district class A, for which he made his first game on November 17, 2013 against VfB Grötzingen . Since November 2015 Dundee has occasionally played for FV Grünwinkel in the district class B2 Karlsruhe, most recently on August 26, 2018 in its 2nd team.

Others

Because of his scoring danger during his first time at KSC, he got the nickname Dundee, the gate crocodile , by the media , alluding to the movie Crocodile Dundee - A crocodile to kiss . A video game called Sean Dundee's World Club Football from Ubisoft was also released .
