Biography
Defensive midfielder Ralf Sievers was on the West German football team that won the third-place match against Italy 3-0, and took the bronze medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Therefore, the team and all players were awarded the Silver Bay Leaf, Germany’s highest sports award. Sievers never won a full international cap and played with the Olympic team in just two matches.
Domestically, Sievers played with Lüneburger SK (1979-82 and 1993-2001), Eintracht Frankfurt (1982-90), and FC St. Pauli (1990-93), helping Frankfurt to win the German Cup in 1988. In total, he played 232 Bundesliga matches and scored ten goals.
After his playing career, Sievers became a coach with Lüneburg, and later Teutonia Uelzen, both in lower leagues. His brother Jörg and his son Jan-André also became soccer professionals.
