Sebastian Deisler, German footballer
Sebastian Toni Deisler (German pronunciation: [zeˈbasti̯a(ː)n ˈdaɪslɐ]; born 5 January 1980) is a German former professional footballer who played as a right winger and attacking midfielder.
A Borussia Mönchengladbach youth product, he played one season with the club during which it was relegated from the Bundesliga. He joined Hertha BSC in 1999 before leaving for Bayern Munich in 2002. He also represented the Germany national team between 2000 and 2006.
Having been hailed as the future of German football at the turn of the millennium, Deisler could never manage to reach his full potential due to several cruciate ligament ruptures and other major injuries, as well as depression. Deisler retired from professional football in January 2007 at the age of 27.
