Norbert “Nobby” Dickel has been an indispensable part of Borussia Dortmund’s stadium culture for 33 years, but that’s soon to end, as quoted by the BVB stadium announcer in ‘Bild’: “I will soon be 64 years old. I don’t want them to have to carry me out of the stadium one day. I’m starting to think about it.”
And a former BVB player, who already enjoys something of a legendary status among many fans, has put himself forward as Dickel’s successor in his podcast: “I would do it, guys, yes! If you want it, then I’ll do it!” reveals Kevin Großkreutz on “Quarter Hour Football”.

When asked by ‘Bild’, the BVB star emphasizes his interest: “It wasn’t just said offhand. Borussia is my life. I would like to contribute.” But he also jokingly adds: “I would always have to watch what I say. When certain opponents are in the stadium.”
Can you imagine Großkreutz as Dickel’s successor or is he not suitable as a stadium announcer? Write it in the comments.
