    • 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:


      Malocher und Manager, gelernter Stahlbauschlosser und Anzugträger, Schalker Legende und ewiger Borusse - Rudi Assauer war ein Mann der Gegensätze. Und wurde zu einer prägenden Figur der Fußball-Bundesliga.

        Oreo the raccoon: Guardians of the Galaxy model dies aged 10

        Oreo the raccoon, the real-life model for Guardians of the Galaxy character Rocket, has died aged 10.

        The news was announced on the comic book superhero team's Facebook page.

        "Oreo passed away in the early hours of this morning after a very short illness," it reads. "Many thanks to our wonderful vets for their compassion and care."

        Rocket the raccoon was voiced by Bradley Cooper in the 2014 film and its 2017 sequel.

        Oreo died after a short illness early on Thursday morning, the Facebook post says.

        "You have been an amazing ambassador for raccoons everywhere," it reads. "You were perfect."

        Oreo the raccoon was the real-life model for the Guardians of the Galaxy film character Rocket.
