The Ultimate: The Life, Death, & Legacy of Matthias Sindelar
The Ultimate explores the life, death, and legacy of Matthias Sindelar. He was arguably the greatest soccer player of his day, leading the Austrian National Team on a historic unbeaten streak in the 20s and 30s. Before Messi, Ronaldo, or even Pele...Matthias Sindelar helped change the game of soccer, earning the nicknames The Mozart of Football and The Paper Man because his small frame deceived defenders and made him a formidable striker. Then suddenly, it all ended. He and his fiancee died under mysterious circumstances when the Nazis took over his home nation of Austria. David James Roberts investigates whether or not his death was a mere accident or if it was more sinister.
