Prayers for Boris Vukcevic

Rarely has an incident shaken the emotions of the 1899 Hoffenheim fans as much as the terrible car accident of young professional Boris Vukcevic. As a result, last Saturday, prayers were said in the Dietmar-Hopp Stadium in Hoffenheim for the U21 international

The initiative was produced by the loyal away-travelling fans of the TSG fan bus, organised by the fan committee and agreed to by TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Around 150 fans took part in the service that included songs and prayers for Boris Vukcevic.

The fans wrote their thoughts and wishes in a book, prayed and sung football's greatest hymn “You'll never walk alone!” Accompanied by a Christian blessing and comforted by their confidence in God, as well as the good news that Vukcevic is no longer in a life threatening condition, the fans left the stadium.

The head of the fan committee, Stephanie Krotz, was delighted at the number of participants and thanked TSG, Hanna Gebhard, who conducted the service, and all the fans that came down to wish Boris well.
