OFFICIAL 2016 APOLYTON CELEBRITY DEAD POOL

[Proteus_MST]

Rudi Assauer (4/30/1944 - 2/6/2019)

Probably rather unknown over the great pond.
He was a very successful soccer player in one iconic soccer club in Ruhr Valley ... BVB Dortmund
and later, after his active soccer career, led another conic soccer club as its manager ... FC Schalke 04

Likewise iconic, the view of him smoking cigars when watching his club playing:
