Kissinger drops in for Fuerth game

FORMER US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said on Saturday he hopes Gruether Fuerth wins this season's Bundesliga title after returning to his Franconian hometown to watch his team play.

The 89-year-old, who served under US presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, was born in Fuerth. Fuerth is playing its first season in the Bundesliga in the club's 109-year history.

"I wish Fuerth wins the title," he said after visiting Fuerth's Trolli Arena ground, formerly known as the Ronhof, for the league match against Schalke 04. "The Ronhof I know has changed a lot. I used to watch the game from the terraces, but I will be treated a lot better today."
