Tragic

Heurelho Gomes — Wrong decision: Hoffenheim and their goalkeepers is a tricky subject. No language skills, no match practice and a debut after just one training session — those were the ingredients for a disastrous start in the TSG goal. The loan signing from Tottenham, flown in as a replacement for the discarded Tim Wiese, made more headlines during his time at the TSG (January 31 to June 30, 2013) through YouTube bloopers than through saves.

Boris Vukčević — The car accident: Boris Vukčević began his football career at Hessian club SV Staufenberg in 1995. In summer 2008, he moved to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's reserve team. On the final matchday of the 2008/09 season, he featured in the 3-2 away win at FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. From the start of the 2009/10 season, he was also a regular in the first-team squad. On October 17, 2010, the 22-year-old was involved in a serious car accident that left him with severe brain injuries. Vukčević never played football again.
