INFO:

Well here's Hector Scarone of Germany...

Many people would answer Michael Ballack on the question who's the best scorer in bundesliga among the midfielders. But the answer is this Doctor with rocket shot. Nickel was offensive midfielder or left winger with fantastic shooting capacities. As a kid he practiced his shooting constantly on their farm usually making the targets and than trying to hit them to get the points. Bernd was excellent set piece taker, few times scored directly from corner, scored with rockets from long distance, volleys and spectacular overhead kicks. He could curle the ball over the wall but he insisted in straight sharp shots, he had one of the strongest shots in the league. Nickel's trademark were excellent 50-60 meters long balls. He had good technique and even better dribbling. On the other side his running capacities were little bit weak and he wasn't fast. Due to his straight shots his nickname was "Doktor Hammer". Nickel began his career in 1957 at SV Eisemroth. In 1966 he was signed by Eintracht Frankfurt, where he scored 141 goals in 426 Bundesliga games. He won the DFB-Pokal in 1974, 1975 and 1981. His biggest success was the victory of the UEFA Cup in 1980. Frankfurt won against Borussia Mönchengladbach with 2–3 (away) and 1–0 (home) on aggregate due to the UEFA away goals' rule. Nickel stayed until 1983 at the Eintracht. He was notorious for his heavy distance shots and free kicks. Nickel scored four Olympico goals (goals scored direct from a corner kick) from all four corners of Eintracht's Waldstadion. At the end of his career he joined BSC Young Boys from Switzerland for the 1983–84 season. Nickel was capped once for the DFB team. He also competed for West Germany at the 1972 Summer Olympics.
