Mike Büskens

From Duesseldorf to Schalke [Preview]

The German pop-star Grönemeyer once sang "Who lives in Düsseldorf, anyways?" and Mike Büskens thought the same in 1992. He was drawn to FC Schalke 04, where it was not yet customary for FC Schalke professionals to live around 50 kilometres away, and so from then on he lived on Schalker Straße in the middle of Schalke. On his tour, Mike Büskens takes us to "his" Schalke, we take a look back at the Schalke of 30 years ago and learn about the occasions when the current FC Schalke 04 assistant coach still likes to come to Schalke.
