ROBERT ENKE (24 August 1977 – 10 November 2009) ![]() Though many of you may not know about or watch the bundesliga, though many of you may not support the German national team, and though he was not fangirled, and though he was not someone we have tags for, for those who had the opportunity to watch him in action Robert Enke was immense. But all of you know the type of player he was. Robert Enke was the player that gave everything for the team. He was a formidable goalkeeper, a dedicated captain, a worthy representative of his club and country, a loyal team member, a great tutor to young players (Per Mertesacker evolved to Mannschaft-class with Enke at his back), a dedicated social campaigner (against disease and cruelty against animals) and a true gentleman in any way one could possible imagine. If one looks at the community of German goalkeepers as a whole, Enke stood out. Among all those egomaniac bastards, there was one who wouldn't throw temper tantrums into cameras, insult his contenders, hit opponent defenders, accuse ball-boys of losing his teams matches, take helicopters to training, screw around behind the back of his wife. It is only unfortunate that he will finally be recognized by all of us within our community in the tragedy of his death. Rest in Peace. |

ETA: Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and appreciation; simulatenously this or any tribute could do no justice to a man's life. Nevertheless, I will direct you to Hannover's webpage who have managed a far more fitting tribute than I. More pictures of the vigil are available here.

I heard it on the radio a couple of minutes ago, and several German sources bring it as newsflash.
Edit: There are indeed several sources, including the Berliner Morgenpost, that state it is supposed to have been suicide.
Sources:
1, 2, 3.
The n-tv newsflash says Robert's agent confirmed that it was suicide.
Ruhe in Frieden.
