TRAUTMANN

Bavarian director Marcus ‘Rosi’ Rosenmüller is making his English-language feature debut with a biopic about the legendary German-born goalkeeper Bernd ‘Bert’ Trautmann. David Kross plays Trautmann, who was in goal for Manchester City from 1949 to 1964 and famously played the FA Cup Final with a broken neck, with Freya Mavor cast as the love of his life, Margaret, who was the daughter of his coach at St Helens. Described by another Man City goalie Joe Corrigan as “one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time”, Trautmann received Germany’s Order of Merit in 1997 and an honorary OBE from the Queen in 2004 for his work in promoting Anglo-German relations.
