NIEMALSALLEIN

Wayne Thomas, who plyed his trade at Hannover 96 from 1985 to 1987, recently told STAMMPLATZ, the Reds matchday magazine, "I follow Hannover 96 and Aachen very closely, and only recently I was at a reunion here, which was great. My son was with me and he enjoyed it so much that he said, 'Dad, we have to become members here'." He has now kept his word.
