Fortuna Dusseldorf's Raphael Wolf admits to saving shot with penis in 2. Bundesliga match
Wolf says his private parts came in use to save an indirect free-kick against Arminia Bielefeld at the weekend
Fortuna Dusseldorf's goalkeeper helped his 2. Bundesliga side to a crucial 2-0 victory over Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday – but not without some pain.
Arminia won an indirect free-kick inside the penalty box, meaning Fortuna had to line all their players up on the goal-line.
Yet Wolf was the one who blocked the shot to keep a clean sheet for the leaders of Germany's second tier. The trouble for him, however, was that he achieved it with a delicate part of his body.
"You always say with your balls but this one I saved with my penis," the 29-year-old told Bild.
"I never experienced such a free-kick. First the pain was hellish but after some ice and rest it was OK.
"I have worn protection as a youth at Hallenspielen. But you can't run properly - it's crap!"
You can't knock his commitment to Fortuna's cause.
