Enke honoured on anniversary

Hundreds of fans marched in Hannover in honour of goalkeeper Robert Enke on Thursday, on the second anniversary his tragic death.

Around 300 people gathered to march from downtown Hannover to the AWD-Arena, where they laid flowers and lit candles in remembrance of the player who served the Bundesliga club from 2004 to 2009.

Capped eight times by Germany, Enke committed suicide on November 10, 2009 after a battle with depression.

In the former Barcelona goalkeeper’s memory, the Robert Enke Foundation was established by Hannover, the DFB (the German Football Association) and DFL (the German Football League) to raise money to combat depression and heart disease.
