Farewell to East German football
How the East German team won their last ever match - just before the country disappeared in 1990

Only 14 players bothered turning up for the friendly against Belgium, but those that did were determined to go out on a high note. Tim Mansel talks to the former East German striker, Uwe Rosler.
