Jens in the driving seat

JUST as we say about love and marriage, Jens Lehmann and controversy seem to go together like a horse and carriage — not least when the Arsenal goalkeeper swaps his club jersey for that of his country.

For years, the big man engaged in a bitter duel with Bayern Munich’s Oliver Kahn, the animosity between the two pouring out into the public domain time and time again.

That poisonous relationship finally came to an end this summer when Kahn took his leave of international football after a World Cup where Lehmann had finally managed to push past his old rival. Eventually they kissed and made up during the tournament itself.
