Germany keeper dies in 'suicide'

Enke also played for Benfica, Barcelona and Moenchengladbach
Germany and Hannover 96 goalkeeper Robert Enke has died after being hit by a train in an apparent suicide, police have confirmed.

Enke, 32, was fatally injured at a level crossing northwest of Hannover.

The German football federation (DFB) said in a statement: "The German team has learned of the death of Robert Enke with great shock.

Germany coach Joachim Loew and manager Oliver Bierhoff added: "We are all shocked, we are speechless."

Enke's daughter Lara died in 2006 of a rare heart condition when she was just two. He leaves behind his wife, Teresa, and an eight-month-old daughter the couple had adopted in May.

German police released a statement saying: "The victim is apparently national team goalkeeper Robert Enke from Hannover 96. The first police indications are that it was a suicide."

Enke was struck by a regional train travelling between Norddeich and Hannover at a railway crossing in Neustadt am Rubenberge and died at the scene.

He played eight times for Germany and also for clubs Jena, Borussia Moenchengladbach, Benfica, Barcelona, Fenerbahce and Tenerife, before returning to the Bundesliga with Hannover in 2004.

Enke made his international debut aged 31 and became Germany's number one keeper after Jens Lehmann retired from internationals at the end of Euro 2008.

He had missed Germany's last four matches with a virus but returned for his club at the weekend.

Loew had indicated that Enke was in pole position for the number one jersey at next year's World Cup finals in South Africa.

Dr Theo Zwanziger, president of the DFB, said that the football community in Germany "are deeply distressed and in mourning", adding: "All our sympathy goes to the wife of Robert Enke and his family."

The Germany squad is currently in Bonn ahead of a friendly against Chile on Saturday, but Enke had been left out of the squad having only just returned to action for his club.

Fans were flocking to Hannover's Niedersachsen Stadion on Tuesday night to lay flowers and light candles for the captain of their club.

A news conference has been scheduled for 1230 GMT on Wednesday.

Hardies.

Yup

Robert Enke's agent has denied that the Germany under-21 international goalkeeper is poised for a possible move to Manchester United.

Reports in several British newspapers claimed that Enke was confident of making a challenge to Fabien Barthez because of the Frenchman's erratic form.

But Enke's agent, Goerg Neblung, says no talks have taken place with United since the Premiership champions tried to sign the Benfica star during the close season.


Enke does not want to be number two or three

"The last conversation we had with manager Alex Ferguson and chief executive Peter Kenyon was last summer regarding the player's transfer," said Neblung.

"There has been no further contact with Manchester United to the player, or to me.

"He was close to signing last summer but Fabien Barthez was number one at Manchester United and is still is number one because he is a great goalkeeper.

"Enke does not want to be number two or three."

Enke, who arrived at Benfica in the 1999-2000 season from Borussia Monchengladbach, will be out of contract in the summer.

He has played all 13 league matches this season for Benfica, who are just one point off the top of the table.

United have also been tracking Bolton's Finnish international keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen as Barthez struggles to find his best form in United's colours this season.

Sad news. I can't imagine what losing a child must be like.

Same day as Jim Davidson too.

PETA spokesman:

Tragic loss of life.

RIP.

R.I.P ...If it was because of the death of his daughter some time back I can see why that would make someone do such a thing tbf, would probably be an unbearable pain to live with

Losing a child has to be the worst thing imaginable. Tragic news

Well can you reply, as a fella in Cologne once told me "Your German is shit".

damn those germans and their efficient and punctual trains. if he had been english, he'd probably still be waiting for the train to arrive.

seriously though, what a selfish bastard. i feel sorry for his poor wife losing her husband so soon after losing a child.

Poor form Jack and Jablonski.
