Erich Laaser is a luminary of German sports journalism. He became famous, among other things, when he commented on Germany's triumph against Argentina in the 1990 World Cup final for ARD. Back then, he also made friends for life. The death of his friend Franz Beckenbauer therefore hit him hard. But also that of an Austrian reporting legend, as he revealed in an interview with "Sportkrone.at".
