Yesterday we celebrated the farewell party for IST Austria’s managing director Gerald Murauer. It was, indeed, an evening, as I had promised at the beginning, „as embarrassing and sentimental, as toe-curling and sobby“ as possible. One of the highlights was the surprise appearance of Austria’s soccer legend Herbert „Schneckerl“ Prohaska who I had the pleasure to interview. A man with a fine sense of humour which is probably indispensable if you make your living being a TV pundit commentating Austrian soccer.
