This week European football lost one of its most passionate
fans. Olly Olschewski, as he was his real name, died at the age of 69 years. Known
affectionately by his fellow Schalke fans as "Catweazle" because of his
long hair and his shaggy beard.
Catweazle was a permanent fixture in Block 5 of the old Parkstadion,
one hand on the mast, the other drumming as thousands of hands clapped before unleashing
deafening cry of "SCHALKE".
For almost three decades his drum endured, in March 2009 he
auctioned his famous drum raising money for charity.
So the Schalke drum beats no more…
respects from Liverpool.
