A former Premier League star who once made history as the German football's most expensive goalkeeper has revealed he has been left destitute after his glittering career. Eike Immel was once renowned as one of the finest goalkeepers in Europe, graduating from Borussia Dortmund's academy before becoming the club's first-choice at just 17 years old. The young talent was part of Germany's European Championship-winning squad and later moved to Stuttgart for a record-breaking fee. 'I lived like god,' Immel told Sat.1 via Merkur of his lifestyle during his playing days. One of the many notable expenses was a £9k phone bill and spending £25k on clothes for a girlfriend at Christmas.
