description: "Oliver Kahn is the only goalkeeper ever to win the Golden Ball at a World Cup — which he did in 2002 despite an error that cost Germany the final. His twelve years at Bayern and four straight UEFA goalkeeper-of-the-year awards made him the standard, but it's the fury he brought to the position that stuck: they called him \"The Titan\" and \"Volcano\" for a reaso"

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Kahn started in Karlsruhe's youth system in 1975, made the first team in 1987, then moved to Bayern Munich in 1994 for DM 4.6 million. Over fourteen seasons he won eight Bundesliga titles, six German Cups, the 1996 UEFA Cup, and both the Champions League and Intercontinental Cup in 2001. His aggressive command of the box earned him four consecutive UEFA Best European Goalkeeper awards and three from IFFHS. He became Germany's starter after Andreas Köpke retired, helped them reach the 2002 World Cup final, and took the Golden Ball even after his mistake let in Brazil's opener in a 2–0 loss. He retired in 2008, then served as Bayern's CEO from July 2021 to May 2023.
