Criminals Might Not Win a Foot Race with This Lad
After an eight year absence from the top flight, FC St. Pauli kicked off this season’s Bundesliga campaign with a wild 3-1 win away at SC Freiburg. Overturning a 1-0 deficit late in the match, RM Fabian Boll struck first for the Kult Club in the 83rd minute with 2 subsequent goals by teammates securing the three points.
The 2nd strike–and match-winner–was scored by on-loan forward Richard Sukuta-Pasu. After the match, Sukuta-Pasu was seen by fellow Buccaneer Timo Schultz hiding the match ball under his jersey as he was leaving the pitch. Richard now claims to have the ball at his home in a display case. (Warning: German link)
Spotting this guy with a ball under his shirt? Probably not too hard to observe, Inspector Schultz.
Now there’s been some friendly banter amongst Boll and other St Pauli players during training sessions that Sukuta-Pasu should instead give the ball to Boll as it was he that scored the 1st Bundesliga goal for FC St Pauli in eight years.
Boll, a 31 yr old who also moonlights as a police officer, seems good-natured about it, but he really could make a stink if he wanted to. The kid that took the ball is an on-loan youngster from Bayer Leverkusen whereas the veteran Boll has been with FC St Pauli since 2007 and started 23 times last season in helping the Fascist-Fighters earn promotion from the 2.Bundesliga.
Upon hearing the story from Bild, it appears adidas, which makes the official match balls for the league, commissioned an honorary ball imprinted with the crests of both St Pauli and Freiburg for Boll to own as well.
Well, isn’t that special? No word though on if the sports manufacturer made Boll cough up the roughly $175 it charges for the Torfabrik ball, but it’s doubtful.
Still, though, the ball Boll now has isn’t the actual match ball that he scored with, so it seems a bit like kissing your sister. Or, putting it another way, it’s like when you asked Santa Claus for Transformers and got Go-Bots instead.
Boll should just sneak into Sukuta-Pasu’s house and switch out the balls. The kid would never notice, and I’m betting Inspector Schultz would help with the job.
“As a police officer he is the only one on his St. Pauli team who has a non-football job. He inherited his number 17 from Ivan Klasnić who left St. Pauli for Werder Bremen.”

That’s no reason to go raping people, Ivan.
@ Georger: Yeah, saw Ivan’s name pop up too. Very weird to come across that name today on something unrelated to St Pauli. Ivan’s popped up all day on the German sites b/c of his Werder playing days.
