This video is an example of perseverance, and determination, and the art of not giving up. To the person who requested this video for more than two months, you are a role model to all of us!
The comment sectio shows how great we are as a community! All are congratulating that one guy :D i am happy about this and for the video!! #thepeoplechannel
Totally agree, but as most top players left for the lights and money in western Germany, the clubs were left to fend for themselves (when the DFB should of helped them) and the collapse of business/industry (fewer sponsors) the clubs would of very quickly been relegated anyway.
quality wise 2 was about right...only dresden managed to survive a few years, while rostock were relegated right away. and leipzig when they got promoted a few years later played one of the worst bundesliga seasons ever if they put more than 2 they probably would have been slaughtered anyway
@@kalleknall7804 all the best east german players had been poached by then Kalle. Totally unfair, like most east german businesses ruined by the west looking to make a fast buck. With the quality of player left in east Germany you are probably right tho.
Arthur is a legend. For months I've come only sporadically and even more rarely I read some of the comments. Arthur's idea struck my eyes more than once.
On the serious note, thank you Alfie for yet another amazing video you have made. It really makes me proud to be a part of this channel and congratulations to Arthur on his amazing underdog story of preservance, heroism and not giving up! Well done! What a day!
Fun Fact: BSG Chemie Leipzig was founded again by former fans of Sachsen Leipzig and is now also playing in the Regionalliga Nordost. It's a really awesome club with a very left-wing fanbase. They have a huge rivalry with lokomotive leipzig
Amazing Video! My Grandfather used to play as goalkeeper for Chemie Leipzig, and always told me stories about how things used to be back then, and how different things were, and this really helped give me a broader background to understanding his story! Thank you so much!
Loved this video, it makes me want your Energie Cottbus video sooner! Would you consider doing one on the nefarious nature of Dynamo Berlin? How they came to power at the behest of the boss of the Stasi, and the naked nature in how they won 10 in a row is fascinating, looking at it with only a shallow knowledge
The reason BFC Dynamo was that successful is because they were massivly supported by the StaSi. Erich Mielke the infamous head of the StaSi was a supporter of the club. Often the best players of other clubs were forced to play for them and when that didnt help sometimes referees would activly favor Dynamo in fear of StaSi-repressions
Awesome video! I'd really like to see more videos about German football in general. But anyways, you're doin a really good job! Thank you for all your amazing videos!
The first two out of the three European finals that East German teams played had less than 5,000 spectators in the stadium, mostly due to travel restrictions put upon East Germans by the DDR government. In the last one, in 1987, there were about 35,000 people to watch Ajax beat Lokomotiv Leipzig in Athens, Greece. Among them were about 600-700 East German fans who after thorough screening by the DDR government were allowed to travel. One of them took advantage of the opportunity and fled.
Not sursprised since that year everyone paid attention to Ronaldo, he won FIFA Player of the Year so people assume he won the Ballon D'or that year too
I think it’s safe to say that reunification hindered the GDR clubs rather than helped them. I remember Magdeburg, Jena, Lokomotive Leipzig, Hansa Rostock and Dynamo Dresden as regulars in European competitions in the 70’s and 80’s.
Small correction: The "er" bit in "Chemnitzer FC" merely indicates possession. The city is named Chemnitz and the "er" makes it the "football club of Chemnitz". Also, the far-right elements at Hansa Rostock have diminished considerably. A few years back, a leader of the local branch of a German far right party was spotted in the stands and he was, let's say... asked to leave by the supporters. I wonder how much of a PITA some of the pronounciations are for a non-native speaker though :D Edit: The football history of the city of Leipzig is a huge clusterfuck and might be worth looking at at some point in the future!
Also to mention to the far-right elements at Hansa Rostock changing: they have really some really famous supporters, considered to be more like far-left (e.g. Monchi, lead singer of german punk band FeineSahneFischfilet also as Rapper Materia, who played for the youth teams of Hansa Rostock). Just to bring more (imo) bright moments of eastern germany's fan culture. Also the Carl Zeiss Jena Hooligans are well known to reflect their non-support for neonazi groups in Thüringen.
Thanks for the video! Small note: At FC Magdeburg you start with the picture of Jens Härtel. He was Magdeburg trainer from 2014 to 2018, but has been the trainer of Hansa Rostock since 2019. :)
Any content on the League of Ireland would be great! The league has been filled with corruption, financial difficulties, a lack of fan bases due to people watching the prem and the constant emergence and disapearance of teams but there have been some memorable european nights for teams too!
Well done _________ as that was brilliant. As a young lad back in the early 70's I used to hear the names of some of these teams on European football nights. Under the duvet with the radio pressed to my ear and Medium Wave fading in and out, the grille of the radio leaving marks on my lughole.
Hallelujah, hallelujah! :)) Thanks, Alfie! Well researched again, and I believe such videos open you up to other viewers and over 30k viewers in 24 hours is quite good for me. Some small additions: - shout out to Erzgebirge Aue (Wismut Aue) long time DDR-Oberliga team and still going well in 2. Bundesliga! - I believe almost nobody really is sad about Dynamo Berlins fall as they were the Stasi team - as a Hansa fan, although all true, I believe the right wing politics have since been left behind mostly, Rostock is a beautiful city (oldest university in Northern Europe) with a great coast of the Baltic sea, so I believe we can leave it behind a little bit now
any chance you'd do a video on the mls academies in america building a golden generation? it's crazy that the team is finally good out of nowhere and i'd be curious to see how you cover it. big fan!
Considering you predicted “not many people” would watch this video, you’ve got over 104,000 views! A success you could say. Similar to a lot of other videos on the channel
12:16 It's probably also worth to mention that their fans founded a phoenix club, called "BSG Chemie Leipzig", they're now competing in the Regionalliga Nordost.
Bro I understand that you’re wary of making these kind of videos as they’re unlikely to get as many views as the more common videos you make. But I just want to say I love these! I’d much rather watch a 20 minute video of you explaining the intricacies of the Cambodian football league or some scandal in the German 4th tier than the 150th video on Liverpool
The oberliga was mental - thanks for a great video. Here's a suggestion - opening League of Wales teams, what happened to them? BTW Carl Jeiss Jena got to the final of the 1981 Cup Winners Cup, beating Newport County in the quarters!!
In 1995 Dresden had a double-relegation; they were due to drop into the 2. Bundesliga, but due to financial problems, they went down instead to the Regionalliga, which at the time was the third tier.
In this and other worlds,I am a 10th liker of this video and well done to the good friend "The Linear" who had his hardwork and determination being paid off as his requested video has been uploaded finally after like around 3 months of requesting good friend Alfie to only upload the video!!!Congratulations,good friend!!!:-D
Since Arthur's been done:- Day 1: East African Federation XI? The East African Federation is a proposed unification of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda, for those who don't know, and I'm curious as to whether or not they could field a halfway decent side given that they'd have a total population of nearly 200 million people.
@@anzacxlag2606 Trautmann Hamann Lehmann Freund and Ziege just to name a few... maybe even Klinsmann had arguably a bigger career in England than Ballack.
@@cmenomore8119 Well you named 2 goalkeepers a wing back and a striker, so any of them could fit in the team as well. I wouldn't put Freund of Hamann over him, both had way less caps for Germany and less silverware. Keep in mind he said best, not best whilst in the premier league/1st division.
Thank You, Alfie. #ThePeoplesChannel
Well in lad
Alfie pin this comment. What a legend.
You now have to change your legal name to Arthur now haha
There should be a standing ovation for your determination and perseverance

As a German I wanted to thank you Alfie for making quite a few videos about German football.
I really appreciate it!
Day 1: What Would East Germany’s National Team Be In 2021?
They wouldn’t have one, most of the players are considered born in Germany
Here we go again
@@chunkz1187 I think he means a List of the best players born in the former GDR
Toni Kroos would be their best player.
He was born in Greifswald in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which was a part of East Germany back then
This or the final soviet league idea seem like the next logical step
Since this is the people's channel
FINALLY ARTHUR HAS GOT WHAT HE ASKED FOR
Hello fellow avatar fan

Wouldn't do that on Football Daily hahag
There it is. Respect from that one subscriber for the consistency.
Finally!!! This is really a people's channel.
peoples socialist communist democratic channel.....
The DDR Oberliga teams were really done dirty by the DFB when the reunification happened, by only getting two teams in the Bundesliga.
Totally agree,
but

Love this episode. Love seeing the history of my favorite sport explored.
As someone from Cottbus, I’d highly appreciate the video you were planing to make! Keep up the great work!
As a german i was completely unaware of Matthias Sammer winning the Ballon D'or
Not sursprised since that year everyone paid attention to Ronaldo, he won FIFA Player of the Year so people assume he won the Ballon D'or that year too
Correction on 4:27 :
Matthias Sammer first went to VfB Stuttgart, winning a Bundesliga title in 1992 there
Sammer actually transferred to Stuttgart, where he won the Bundesliga in '92, then had a year at Inter Milan, before joining Dortmund.
This kind of videos is the best, keep this up
Alfie ,you dropped this mate 👑
This is a great idea for a video! Great suggestion, and thanks for making it.
The HITC sevens community salutes one of our own. What a champion!

They really didnt fall
European Champions 1991. Red Star Belgrade.
@@arannyaroy5601 zvezda never won an European trophy in the 60s. Or 70s. Or 80s.

Most Succesful European players outside of Europe, for example Gignac winning 7 trophies with Tigres
