Jahn Koller hanging up his boots






      I've been preparing for this since long. I felt all was enough since last April. First, when I have a problem with my calf muscle, both with my heart. Finally, when I started preparing for next season, my thigh muscle injury. That is the last warning, "said Koller.
     Koller is one of the country's icons. He has defended the Czech national team since 1999. Together with Milan Baros, Tomas Rosicky and Pavel Nedved, the four could be a frightening specter in the European football scene. They drove away to the Czech Euro 2004 semifinals. Koller has a total of 91 caps with his country and a record 55 goals.
     Koller principal advantage is his physical stature. With a height of about 2 meters, he was always able to win a physical duel with his opponents. The high also helped scored many goals through a header.
Best achievement was with Borussia Dortmund. He led the club won the Bundesliga in 2002. Overall, at club level, Koller has over 518 games to notch 218 goals.
