Long before the deaths of Wales manager Gary Speed and Germany
goalkeeper Robert Enke shocked football, the Scottish game was
forced to deal with a numbing death of its own over Christmas 1985.
International full-back Erich Schaedler, aged 36, was found dead in
a Borders beauty spot, with a shotgun by his side and no suicide
note or motive for taking his own life. A straightforward suicide?
So it seemed at the time, but family and friends are not so sure,
and to this day mystery surrounds his tragic death. Schaedler's
loss was felt deeply in the game. He was one of the fittest,
hardest men in Scottish football, and appeared indestructible.
Fearless and ferocious as a player but a gentleman and genial
character off the pitch, Schaedler stood out from the crowd with
his lung-bursting runs, long throw-ins and dedicated fitness.
Enjoying a career encompassing clubs such as Stirling Albion,
Hibernian's Turnbull's Tornadoes team of the 1970s, Dundee,
Dumbarton and, of course, the Scotland international team of 1974
World Cup fame, he proved how far hard work and commitment can take
a professional sportsman.For the first time, Shades presents an
intimate portrait of an incredible man, pieced together by his
family, friends, managers, trainers and teammates, who share their
memories of a man lost in his prime and a person who enriched the
lives of all he knew, both on and off the pitch.
