Jupp Heynckes' coaching chair

Jupp Heynckes liked folding chairs as a coach. And there is a reason for that, which needs to be explained in more detail to younger football fans today: When Jupp Heynckes was coach at Borussia, most German stadiums still had a tartan track around the pitch, usually with benches for coaches, support staff and substitutes. A few metres away from the pitch. With the chair, Heynckes could get closer to the edge of the pitch to be closer to the action - like a director who wants to be as close to the action as possible.
