Thorsten Legat

After a spectacular 1990–91 campaign (31 matches, seven goals, being crucial in helping Bochum retain its top division status), Legat signed with SV Werder Bremen.

The following year, he would be involved in another incident, in which he brandished a samurai sword to a group of youngsters after being threatened alongside his wife, slightly hitting one in the head.

[3] In June 2007, Legat made headlines when he fell in the parking lot of a Remscheid fast food chain branch in dispute with a group of young people who allegedly threatened him.

In January 2016, Legat was candidate in the tenth season of the RTL Television reality game show Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!

In July 2016, he was participant in the summer specials of Grill the Henssler and Ninja Warrior Germany, and in August 2016 he took part in the show Bauer sucht Frau – Die große Bauernolympiade in the team of celebrities.

[6] According to his autobiography Wenn das Leben foul spielt, which was published in 2014, Legat attributes his own outbursts of violence to years of sexual abuse as well as brutal and humiliating attacks by his often-drunk father to both him and the rest of the family during his childhood.
