Alfred Vorderwinkler from Cameroon is one of the heroes serving as a football referee on the fields of Upper Austria in challenging times of increasing aggressiveness. In an interview with “Krone” he explains why the African has such an Austrian name and why he even had to lock himself in the dressing room during a match.
When you think of a man named Alfred Vorderwinkler, you might imagine an angular carpenter from Rohrbach or a powerful mason from the Innviertel. But certainly not a dark African from Wels, who, through his hobby as a referee, contributes more to the integration and peaceful coexistence of different cultures than many politicians. In an interview he talks about how much he likes his job, talks about violent excesses on the football field and about his experiences with racism.
