Grew up a Borussia Mönchengladbach supporter

Wenger (7)

The boss was introduced to football when he was six years old by his father, Alphonse, who served in the German army. Young Wenger was taken to football matches in Germany and took a liking to Monchengladbach. He grew up in a small catholic village, and had to request permission from the priest to miss prayer to play football. He would on to make appearances for several amateur sides in his modest playing career.
