He commented on all major football events for ORF from 1978 to 2006 and had all the greats of the sport, from Happel to Beckenbauer, in front of the microphone. But his live hoppala with the “Schweeeeden” during the European Championship qualifier in 1997 is remembered with great pleasure. Reporting legend Hans Huber turns 80 on Sunday.
Shall we meet at Schwedenplatz? “Yes, why not!” But it eventually became a café in the ninth arrondissement, the birthplace of Hans Huber. And there too, his ‘biggest oops, which was also a stroke of luck’ was of course the topic of conversation on the reporting legend’s 80th birthday. “The 80s are also very tough,” says Huber with a wink, referring to the European Championship qualifier between the Austrian footballers in 1997 against “the Schweeeeden”, as he was then, “because of a technical error, which was also my fault” , said live on ORF as if in slow motion, what was remembered.
