[edit] Football career
[edit] Nottingham Forest
Eugen Bopp moved to Germany when he was very young and joined Bayern Munich as a youth. Bopp, knowing that he would find it hard to get in to the Bayern first team, happily switched life in Munich to join Nottingham Forest. Despite not playing a great deal of games in his Forest career he became something of a cult figure at Forest, and is still a favourite with the fans.
He played over 60 games for Nottingham, but only half of those were in the starting line-up in his four years at the club gaining 11 goals in total.
[edit] Rotherham United
Following his release from Nottingham Forest, he was taken on trial by Rotherham United for the majority of the South Yorkshire club's pre-season. After an impressive trial spell he signed a short term contract on 3 August 2006 and was given the number 25 shirt. As a result of his continued excellent performances on the pitch (and one spectacular goal against Scunthorpe United F.C.), Bopp was offered a contract extension until the end of the season. He played in 30 games for the Millers (24 league, 5 FA Cup, and 1 League Cup matches) and scored 5 goals.
[edit] Crewe Alexandra
Bopp was signed by Crewe Alexandra on 30 May 2007, subject to a medical, which has now been passed and therefore the transfer completed[1]. However, after making only three starts in the 2007/08 season, The Alex have decided that the midfielder will be allowed to leave Gresty Road if he can find a new club. Bopp had been recalled back to the side for the Brighton away game due to injury to other midfielders, he took this opportunity extremely well and is looking to hold on to his place. Crewe Alex do now not want Bopp to leave as they feel he could save them from relegation. [2].
