Herbert Zimmermann

Herbert Zimmermann (1917 - December 16 1966) was a popular German football commentator. He did one of the most famous pieces of commentary ever in Germany in the World Cup final in 1954.

Schäfer nach innen geflankt... Kopfball... Abgewehrt. Aus dem Hintergrund müßte Rahn schießen... Rahn schießt! Tor! Tor! Tor! Tor!
Stille.
Tor für Deutschland! Drei zu zwei führt Deutschland. Halten Sie mich für verrückt, halten Sie mich für übergeschnappt!
Schäfer puts in the cross... header... Cleared. Rahn must shoot from deep... Rahn shoots! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!
Zimmermann fell silent. It was eight seconds before he spoke again.
Goal for Germany! Germany lead 3-2. Call me mad, call me crazy!"
