1. FC Köln celebrated a furious 7:1 gala against Werder Bremen. A music star from Cologne was right in the middle of the frenzy of joy. The noble fan was even allowed into the dressing room and dusted off a special gift.
The locker room party at 1. FC Köln after the furious 7-1 win against Werder Bremen (on Saturday, January 21, 2023) was in full swing when a music star suddenly burst into the changing room.
Reggae singer Gentleman (“Intoxication”, “Superior”) didn’t miss the opportunity to be the first to congratulate. The ardent FC fan could hardly believe his luck as he was led through the catacombs of the Rhein-Energie Stadium.

“It was a real fan moment and an unforgettable experience that I was allowed into the cabin,” said Tilmann Otto (48) – his real name – to EXPRESS.de
The musician, who is in the Rhein-Energie-Stadion as often as his tight schedule allows, also dusted off a special present. Because captain Jonas Hector (32) gave the prominent guest his jersey. He couldn’t get his grin off his face after that.
The same was true for Christian Osebold (39). The FC physiotherapist is a huge gentleman supporter and was happy about the little meet-and-greet with the singer.
“I was really happy to meet him. I’ve always been a big fan of his music,” Osebold said. He led Gentleman through the hallowed halls and was rewarded with a selfie together.

The pros tend to have a different taste. Because gentleman’s hits weren’t played at the cabin party. Instead, a lot of Cologne music roared out of the speakers.
And one song couldn’t be missing at the end: the winning song! “It’s a request from the coach. If we win, we’ll play Eye of the Tiger in the dressing room,” revealed Jan Thielmann (20) at half-time on Sky. Also popular: Jay-Z, AnnenMayKantereit and Scooter.
