 Oliver Kahn (born 15 June 1969 in Karlsruhe) is a German football goalkeeper. He played for the German national team (from 1995 to 2006) and still plays for Bayern München (since 1994). Kahn is known for his hulky frame, remarkable shot-saving abilities and ferocious presence in goal. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time. Kahn signed his first professional contract at Karlsruher SC in the 1987-88 season, at first being the reserve goalie behind Alexander Famulla. However, he had to wait until 1990 until KSC coach Winfried Schäfer decided to start Kahn over Famulla. In the following years, Kahn established himself as a quality goalkeeper, greatly contributing in establishing KSC as a force to reckon with in the Bundesliga. Kahn was first signed by Bayern Munich at the beginning of the 1994/95 season, and has since gone on to win multiple honors, both at the domestic and international level. The Bavarian club paid him a then record fee for a goalkeeper of 2.5 million euros, and thus Kahn was firmly established as Bayern's first-choice. Kahn has announced his intention to honor his contract and play through the 2007-2008 season. [1]. As of 2007, he is the all time clean sheet leader in the history of the Bundesliga with 184. [2] He made his 500th Bundesliga appearance on August 11, 2006. Another milestone reached was his 400th Bundesliga appearance with Bayern Munich on April 15, 2007 against Bayer Leverkusen.
