It was the fact that he wasn't like all the other superstars. That he was still human. That played a big part for sure. Enke was consistently one of the best German goalkeepers over the past few years and he was en route to become Germany's new #1. His contract at Hannover was expiring and he was rumored to move to a big club on a free transfer. The whole superstar thing for all the world to see was a realistic possibility for the time after the World Cup. In Germany though, he already had a similar status and in Hannover he was a legend already anyway. “Given that Enke was hardly a football superstar, I find the overwhelming reaction to his death surprising but also very touching.”
