"To begin with, the "Bundesliga Legends Network" consists of nine ex-professionals whose popularity makes them ideal brand ambassadors for the Bundesliga in the key target markets of China (Jiayi Shao, Jörg Albertz), the USA (Steven Cherundolo), Mexico (Pavel Pardo), Ghana (Anthony Baffoe), Oceania (Wynton Rufer), South Korea (Bum-Kun Cha) and Brazil (Paulo Sergio). As faces of the Bundesliga, these ex-players will be making several appearances, for instance at fan and media events, as coaches at football camps, at CSR events or as experts in various shows of our partner broadcasters in order to boost the popularity of the Bundesliga globally, and especially in their respective homelands."
- The man known simply as "Kiwi" in his playing days is the most successful Bundesliga import from Oceania: Wynton Rufer (New Zealand) wore the green and white of SV Werder Bremen 174 times, averaging a goal almost every three games (59). His trophy haul comprised a German league title, two German Cups and triumph in the 1992 European Cup Winners’ Cup, to which he contributed a goal in the final against AS Monaco.
There's also an entertaining recent German video interview with Wynton where he has to choose his favourites from a list of two aletrnatives put to him e.g. Auckland or Wellington? German Cup or Chatham Cup? Anderlecht or Napoli? (his two greatest European games). Part of a series interviewing Bremen's team of 1992 to celebrate 25 years since Bremen won the UEFA Cup Winners Cup
Well researched to include questions from his NZ background like the Chatham Cup:
