Walter Jasper

Walter Jasper (* 1942 in Verden ) is a former German radio commentator who worked for Radio Bremen .

Life

Jasper reported on more than two decades, mainly as part of the ARD Bundesliga conference of football matches of SV Werder Bremen .

Jasper worked for ARD as a reporter for the motorcycle world championship for almost 25 years. During the successful times of the German Grand Prix aces Toni Mang , Reinhold Roth , Martin Wimmer and others, Jasper broadcast more than 100 World Championship races. He said goodbye to motorsport in Sydney in 1996 when Ralf Waldmann had the great opportunity to become world champion.

In addition to radio broadcasting, Jasper was also employed for many years as a reporter and presenter on the 1st and 3rd TV programs of the ARD. From 1992 to 2005 Jasper was head of the Radio Bremen radio sports department.

In 2005 Jasper, who had been deputy chairman of the Bremen Sports Journalists' Association for twelve years, said goodbye. In the course of his career he commented on a total of 250 Bundesliga games and over 50 European Cup games - in both cases, with these values, he is the record holder of the smallest regional broadcaster .

Jasper was also a reporter at various international matches for the German national team and at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Anecdotal

The then Werder manager Willi Lemke caused a curiosity in the 1980s, who often followed the radio commentary during the game. When he didn't like Jasper's reporting, he sent a messenger to his booth with the request to finally report more positively.

Probably his best-known report came about when he and Wilhelm Johannsson commented on the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup between Werder Bremen and AS Monaco on May 6, 1992 in Lisbon's Estádio da Luz and the goal of the 2-0 lead in the 55th minute the Bremer cheered by Wynton Rufer :

“AS Monaco is back with Roger Mendy, yes, the thirty-two year old from Senegal. Bad pass. A man from Bremen paid attention. No offside position. Wynton Rufer has the opportunity to make it 2-0, plays around the goalkeeper, and then eats the ball and he scores the goal! Gol! Gol! Gol! "
