Club career
Pröll was born in Rheinbach. He started his professional career with 1. FC Köln before moving to Frankfurt for the 2003–04 season.
He was elected by the German football magazine kicker as the Bundesliga's best goalkeeper of the first half of the 2006–07 season. Unfortunately he hardly could contend this title as he suffered of many injuries.
Trivia
At the beginning of his career, Pröll became a target of some ridicule because his name "Pröll" literally means something like "lout" in German.
gollark: I was TRYING to make UDP/IPv6 multicast work, except the libc(/POSIX? who knows) APIs for this appear to be terrible and not map onto the actual protocols at all.
gollark: I was using socket2, which provides a thin wrapper over Windows/libc sockets.
gollark: No, the libc socket APIs.
gollark: I tried to do some socket programming in Rust™ yesterday, but it failed in bizarre and incomprehensible ways. I don't think this is Rust's fault as much as the socket APIs just being really terrible and incomprehensible.
gollark: Isn't there already nalgebra for this?
