Prohaska, symbol of a nation

To help mark UEFA's Jubilee, each national association was asked to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years. In the first of a series of articles looking at the Golden Player selected by the nations who have qualified for UEFA EURO 2008™, uefa.com remembers the career of Austria's Herbert Prohaska.

"Herbert Prohaska has become the wise old man of Austrian football. He not only achieved great things as a player in Austria and Italy, he was also a well-respected coach before beginning his career as a television commentator. That's why Austrian sports journalists voted for him."
