Excerpt: Carsten Jancker (born 28 August 1974 in Grevesmuhlen) is a former German professional footballer and current manager. A striker, Jancker is physically very large for a footballer, standing at 1.93 meters (6 ft 4.0 in). His height and strength have proved to be an advantage when playing as a target man, as displayed during his most successful days at FC Bayern Munich.

Jancker left Bayern for Italian side Udinese in 2002, but the move was not a success; over two seasons and 35 games, the forward registered only two goals. Jancker was said to be "too slow and predictable for Serie A" by one football website. In 2004, Jancker returned to Germany with Kaiserslautern and showed a slight improvement in form, netting five times in 25 games. In 2004, he also scored six goals in Kaiserslautern's 15-0 first round DFB-Pokal win against FC Schonberg 95, still a record for any player in the competition. This was an
