Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small slide cover container half the the size of a film canister, Bring your own pencil, holds log only.  Some may find this one a little of a challenge, especially if Muggles are around (on weekend or late afternoons during the week), you will be noticed getting this one. I know during winter the park does lock its gates and access my be limited.


Keeping with the soccer theme, when I was growing up in the mid 80's I played Soccer, and got to meet my idol at the time Karl-Heinz Granitza, he played for the Chicago Sting.,

 

Granitza played in Germany for VfB LünenEintracht DortmundLüner SVDJK GüterslohSV Röchling Völklingen andHertha BSC.  In 1978 and again for the 1979 season] he transferred to the Chicago Sting of the NASL, leading the team to two league championships. He also excelled at the indoor game. Granitza was known for his powerful and accurate left foot. He was also very effective with direct free kicks, having the ability to strike the ball with top spin over the wall of defenders, and into the upper corners of the goal. He would finish as the NASL's second all-time leading scorer.

In the 1990s Granitza owned "State Street", an American-style sports bar in Berlin.

In 2003, Granitza was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. His #12 shirt has been retired by the Chicago Storm.
