Uwe Rahn (born May 21, 1962 in Mannheim-Schönau ) is a former German soccer player .

Club career

Rahn began playing football in the club at Mannheim TSV Schönau in 1970 . In 1975 he moved to the youth department of the neighboring SV Waldhof Mannheim . In 1980 Rahn's Bundesliga career began with his transfer to Borussia Mönchengladbach . In the first season he fought for a regular place at Borussia. After Gladbach had slipped a bit in the Bundesliga compared to the 1970s, especially at the beginning of the 1980s, Rahn and his team were able to record the entry into the DFB Cup final in 1984 as a success. He was on the starting line-up for the final against Bayern Munich , which was lost 7-8 on penalties. Rahn was replaced in the 68th minute.

In 1987 Uwe Rahn was voted top scorer in the Bundesliga and footballer of the year in Germany with 24 goals .

In the summer of 1987 he was to move from Mönchengladbach to PSV Eindhoven as the successor to the newly crowned world footballer Ruud Gullit . However, the change failed due to the amount of the transfer fee of 15 million Marks demanded by Gladbach , the same amount that Eindhoven had received for Gullit.

In the following season, Rahn fell into a form low from which he no longer recovered. In November 1988 Rahn moved to 1. FC Cologne , with whom he was twice German runner- up under Christoph Daum , without being able to build on his previous form.

In 1990 he was signed by Hertha BSC , who had been promoted to the Bundesliga , as a bearer of hope, but could not prevent relegation with rather moderate performances and frequent injuries. He then played for Fortuna Düsseldorf and Eintracht Frankfurt before ending his football career in the Japanese J-League .

Uwe Rahn now lives in Landshut, having lived with his wife in Belgium and Italy for many years.

National team

In the national team he played 14 times from 1984 to 1987 and scored five goals. In his first international match against Sweden in Cologne in 1984 , he scored his first goal for the DFB-Elf with his first contact with the ball after being substituted on after around 19 seconds. To date, this is the fastest goal by a debutant in the German national team.

In the summer of 1986 he was runner- up with the German national team at the World Cup in Mexico , but was not used by team boss Franz Beckenbauer in the DFB team .
