Karl-Heinz Riedle

What is the deal with strikers and disappointing those around them? There seems to be so much guesswork around the science of bringing in players to score goals, and Karl-Heinz Riedle is another that didn’t work out.

“I hadn’t heard that name in a long time. I thought that he would be an excellent Premiership centre forward. Such disappointment,” summed up C_stat.

76 appearances across three seasons and 15 goals was the sum of Riedle’s stay on Merseyside as he made the trip to London to play for Fulham.
