Regular Behind the ScenesThe most fitting job title for Søren would probably be "equipment manager." His titles have varied over the seven years he's been employed by F.C. Copenhagen, but now his position is officially "Head Kitman." Here, Søren will give us some insights into what lies behind that title, and we’ll cover everything from how the shirts are kept white to N’Doye handing out shirts to everyone and even Neestrup’s wife’s underwear.
The deaf lionNow imagine coming up those same stairs, still surrounded by as many people, just a few minutes until kick-off, but everything is completely silent. This is how Klaus "KB" Abildgaard experiences football week after week, year after year. Klaus was born deaf and is a dedicated FCK fan who experiences the atmosphere and games in a way that’s completely different from most of us.
