Uli Hoeness: Reveals Dortmund loan

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has revealed the club loaned bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund two million euros during their financial crisis.

Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke confirmed the loan, which was made in 2003 to help them stave off bankruptcy.

"When they could no longer afford to pay wages, we gave them two million (euros, approximately £1,650,000) without securities for a few months," Hoeness was quoted as saying by the Bild newspaper.

Watzke added to Ruhr Nachrichten: "Yes, I can confirm the loan."

Dortmund recovered from those problems to win the Bundesliga last season and lead the table by two points this term

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.
