Dietmar Hamann
Dietmar Hamann is a former Liverpool, Manchester City and Germany midfielder who spent more than a decade playing in the Premier League. Best-known for his time with Liverpool, Didi, as he is affectionately known among supporters, won two FA Cups, one League Cup and was part of the club’s iconic 2005 Champions League victory during his time at Anfield.
Now retired, Didi is a popular football pundit on both British and German television, and also works as one of the most admired football speakers in the business. Ideal for both personal and corporate events, Didi’s wonderful humour, plethora of fantastic footballing anecdotes and career highlights make him a hit every time.
Growing up in the small German district of Waldsassen, Didi’s football career began at little-known Wacker Munchen before joining the youth academy of German giants Bayern Munich. He made his professional debut for the Bavarians in 1993 and went on to play 100 games for the side winning two league titles, the German Cup and UEFA Cup along the way.
In 1998, he arrived in English football initially signing for Newcastle United. After just one season with the club, he moved on to Liverpool where he earned a reputation as one of the league’s best midfielders. In 2001, he was an integral part of the team that won a ‘treble’ of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup under Gerard Houllier. In his capacity as one of the most popular football speakers in the industry, he’s able to discuss these successes as well as how he coped with the transition from German to English football.
In 2005, Didi played a crucial role as Liverpool overturned a 3-0 halftime deficit to win the Champions League final on penalties after a 3-3 draw with Italian heavyweights AC Milan. Despite being left out of the starting 11, he came on as a substitute at halftime and put in a formidable performance as the Reds made what is regarded as the greatest footballing comeback in history. Unsurprisingly, this is a topic he is able to discuss at length in his speaking work.
Didi’s last performance for Liverpool came in 2006 and saw him score a penalty in the shoot-out win over West Ham as the Reds won the FA Cup. He then signed for Manchester City before finishing his career as a player-coach with MK Dons.
At an international level, he played 59 times for Germany and was included in the squads for four major tournaments – including the 2002 World Cup where they were runners-up to Brazil.
After hanging up his boots, Didi worked as a coach for Leicester City before becoming a manager for Stockport County in 2011. Since then, he’s predominantly worked as a football pundit for a whole host of broadcasters, offering his opinions on the latest matches and news from the world of football. This is something he’s able to do on all of his football speaking occasions.
