Andreas Kupfer

Andreas Kupfer (7 May 1914, in Schweinfurt – 30 April 2001, in Marktbreit) was a German football player.

In 1938 he was called up to play for the Europe XI against England at Highbury Stadium on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Football Association.

[1] In his 1978 book Fussball, Helmut Schön characterised Kupfer as follows: As an outside half he was a player who certainly would be a regular in our midfield today.

When he played behind me, with his hardness, deftness and pace, I felt absolutely safe upfront.

Alongside with Sepp Herberger and Fritz Walter, in 1942 Kupfer acted in the Robert A. Stemmle sports film The Big Game, starring René Deltgen, Gustav Knuth, and Heinz Engelmann.
