Football legends Krankl and Prohaska inspire with humor on ORF!
In the latest edition of the show Welcome Austria The two Austrian football legends Hans Krankl and Herbert Prohaska created a good atmosphere. The two hosts not only presented their book “It was always funny,” but also radiated plenty of humor. The audience enjoyed their carefree nature as they shared funny stories from their lives as footballers and coaches.
The audience was particularly amused when Prohaska forgot in the middle of the broadcast that his microphone was still on. In a confidential moment he said to Krankl: “You can look past the Gwandl a”. This charming micro-glitch caused a lot of laughter in the studio and once again illustrated the carefree chemistry between the two sports icons.
Visit from Thomas Gansch
After Krankl and Prohaska, star trumpeter Thomas Gansch appeared in an eye-catching outfit. The musician was already worried about negative comments about his clothing in advance and said: "Some people will be upset about how I'm dressed today." Stermann answered humorously: “Yes, they’re right,” which made Prohaska laugh. Gansch continued his performance by showing off his trumpet skills, to which Prohaska applauded enthusiastically.
Careers of legends
Herbert Prohaska, who began his professional career at Austria Vienna in 1972, celebrated great success in Austrian football. He won four league titles and three cups and later moved to Inter Milan and AS Roma, where he also enjoyed great success. Prohaska took part in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina with the Austrian national team and was part of the “Miracle of Córdoba” against Germany.
Hans Krankl, also an impressive figure in Austrian football, began his career at SK Rapid and was later active as Spanish top scorer at Barcelona. He also made a significant contribution to the history of Austrian football, especially with his two goals against Germany in 1978. After his playing career, he worked, among other things, as a player-coach and hosted the music program “Der Nachtfalke” on Radio Vienna.
The footsteps left by both legends can be felt not only in the world of football, but also in Austrian culture. Their social appearances in the form of TV shows and book publications show that they remain active and popular even after their sporting careers.
