“It was an honour, honestly. I can’t even explain how good he was. You know the best part about him? He was 38 the and 39 now, and still unbelievable. After training, Dave and I would stay back for a game, just taking shots from the edge of the ‘D’. I’d take a touch inside, shoot, and there he was in goal, saving everything,” Dier told TribalFootball.
“If you watched him week in, week out, even just for a season, you’d get it. I’ve not seen anything like it. And the funny thing is, everyone would always say to me: ‘Yeah, but he’s not the same as he used to be.’ But trust me, even then, he was on another level.
“The greatest of all time. I don’t think people in England understand how good he is because maybe they haven’t watched the Bundesliga. I’ve not seen anything like it”
