GermanyCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Rudolf "Rudi" Völler is a German professional football manager and former player, who is currently the sporting director of the Germany national team. During his active years as a player he was sometimes nicknamed "Tante Käthe", a name bestowed upon him by Thomas Berthold in reference to his permed hairstyle, and in Italy, he is nicknamed "Il tedesco volante" by supporters of Roma. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
20 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1984–1994The archive holds 20 team sheets naming Rudi Völler in Germany's starting line-up, from 1984-06-14 to 1994-07-10.
20 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
