Gerhard Tremmel

Gerhard Martin "Gerry" Tremmel[2] (born 16 November 1978) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

[7][8][9] Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers had brought Tremmel to South Wales and signed him after his impressive pre-season performances against Celtic and Real Betis.

Tremmel made his competitive debut for Swansea on 7 January 2012 in an FA Cup fixture at Barnsley, helping his team to a 2–4 away win.

[11] Following an injury suffered by first choice goalkeeper Michel Vorm on 27 October 2012, Tremmel started to have a run of games in the Swansea team for the first time.

These performances were met with praise from then-manager Michael Laudrup, who said, "Gerhard has done well and it is very important to know you have a goalkeeper of quality when things happen.

German mass tabloid Bild hailed Tremmel's "career highlight" at the "legendary" Wembley Stadium and a just reward for 15 years of hard work and professionalism in the game.
