Former Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn nearly came to blows with a speaker at a tumultuous election of president of his hometown club Karlsruhe.
Kahn, whose father Ralf ran unsuccessfully for the position,
wanted to take the microphone before the ballot. But a club member
who had been addressing the gathering wouldn't let him, requiring
security personnel to jump in to prevent a brawl.
"That's football - emotions play a great role," Kahn said after
the incident late on Wednesday.
Kahn began his career in Karlsruhe, now in the second division,
before becoming a star for Bayern Munich and Germany.
The 40-year-old Kahn retired two years ago. He became a member
of Karlsruhe a few days ago and was campaigning on his father's
behalf. Of the four candidates, Ralf Kahn received the fewest
votes.
