Hans-Günter Bruns (born 15 November 1954) is a retired German footballer who played as a midfielder.[1]
Years after his retirement, he achieved mild publicity as a result of a video shared on various video streaming and social media sites. The video, showing a clip from a 1983 match between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich, and titled 'The Greatest Goal Never Scored', showed Bruns collecting the ball under pressure near his own corner flag, beating three Bayern Munich players as he ran almost the entire length of the pitch, exchanging a pass with a Borussia Mönchengladbach striker that allowed him on goal, only for his shot to hit the inside of one post, roll across goal and hit the other post, before rebounding into the arms of the Munich keeper.
International career
He earned four caps for the West Germany national football team in 1984, and was included in the West German team for the 1984 UEFA European Football Championship, but did not play.
