Football faithful pay respects to Enke

GERMANY’S football stars, including Michael Ballack and Jurgen Klinsmann, joined tens of thousands of mourning fans in Hanover on Sunday to pay their last respects to tragic goalkeeper Robert Enke.

The 32-year-old, who had been set to travel with the Germany squad to next June’s 2010 World Cup in South Africa, flung himself under a commuter train at a small town near Hanover on Tuesday evening suffering from depression.

An emotional memorial service was held at Hanover 96’s stadium, where Enke should have been in goal for the next home game against Bayern Munich.
