Union Berlin gift quiz-show contestant “Spassikowski” shirt after amusing blunder
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readUnion Berlin have delivered a fitting sequel to one of German football's more amusing recent stories.
From the source
One of the Bundesliga’s more amusing recent stories has acquired a rather fitting sequel. After failing to identify Union Berlin head coach Mauro Lustrinelli on Germany’s popular quiz show Wer wird Millionär?
(Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?), unfortunate contestant Noah Petrik has the Köpenick club up on their invitation. And Union have ensured that the 26-year-old will never forget the name he mistakenly selected.
Petrik was invited to Sunday’s Bundesliga home fixture against 1. FC Cologne and presented with a personalised Union Berlin shirt bearing the name “Spassikowski”. This was one of four possible answers to a €2,000 quiz-show question asking Petrik, an Augsburg native, to identify Union’s current head coach.
