Kutzop took arguably the most famous penalty kick in the history of Bundesliga. On the penultimate game day of the 1985–86 season Kutzop's league-leading SV Werder Bremen were playing second-placed FC Bayern Munich. Werder's victory in that game would guarantee them the title. With the score of 0–0 Kutzop took the penalty kick in the 88th minute and hit the right goalpost. The game ended 0–0. On the last game day FC Bayern beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 6–0, Werder lost 1–2 to VfB Stuttgart (the team they beat 6–0 earlier in the season) and Bayern took the title on goal difference. That was the only penalty kick he missed in 15 attempts during his Bundesliga years.

Today he works at Rudi Völler's football school in Cala Millor, Majorca, Spain.

gollark: A good video could be made on this but it might be better with an outside perspective.
gollark: Anyway, to summarise the rest of it, as I'm sure you've seen, eventually the reshuffling thing began actually happening in earnest, and today another thing happened (I forgot what), various people left, more of them joined new esolangs without leaving, and palaiologos pushed ahead with stricter rule updates in a rather authoritarian way.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Anyway, at some point palaiologos seems to have decided that the server needed a substantial overhaul.(For video purposes you should of course find screenshots of all this stuff; I think much of it was in staff chat though)
