Oliver Bierhoff (born May 1, 1968 in Karlsruhe) is a German football striker, who scored the first golden goal in the history of major international football, for Germany in the Euro 96 final.
In his club career from 1985 to 2003, Bierhoff played for KFC Uerdingen, Hamburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Austria Salzburg, Ascoli, Udinese, AC Milan, AS Monaco, and Chievo Verona. He scored a total of 103 goals in Serie A, one of the best totals for a non-Italian in the league's history. In 1997-98, he led Serie A in goals with 27.
For Germany, Bierhoff scored 37 goals in 70 caps, including both goals in the 2-1 with over the Czech Republic in the Euro 96 final after having come on as a substitute. He also played in Euro 2000, and the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.
Bierhoff's current involvement with football is as the manager of the German national team, a new position created as part of Jürgen Klinsmann's acceptance of the coaching job. Essentially the duties revolve around the public relations aspect of the team as opposed to the coaching responsibilities.
Bierhoff is notably known for his remarkable heading skill, and oftenly regarded as one of the best headers in the game.
