What do you do when you don't have enough healthy players for the squad? Well if you are St. Pauli, you turn to other areas of the club to find a player. That's what coach Holger Stanislawski did when he asked Hauke Brückner, an intern from the media relations department.
"I got a call from Stanislawski and I expected he was going to tell me he was not happy with an autograph session I had set for him, but then he asked me if I was fit enough to train," Brückner told the Welt newspaper. "I said yes. I had never imagined anything like this."
Stanislawski has included Brückner in his squad to face Hannover this weekend.
"When I walked into the changing room with my bag, the boys were staring at me, not really believing it," Brückner said.
Brückner previously played in the zweite liga back in 2002-03, but the 30-year-old had long retired. He could make his first career top-flight appearance.
