He was Werder Bremen’s official announcer at the Weser Stadium from 1976 until 1981. On Saturday, 24.05.2008, Karl-Heinz ‘Spezi’ Mayr passed away in Bremen at the age of 67. “He wasn’t just a good friend from my youth, in his function as stadium announcer, he was also a part of the club. His time on the microphone at Werder home games will never be forgotten. ‘Spezi’ was one of the real cult announcers of his time and we will miss him terribly. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time,” commented Werder Bremen’s chairman Jürgen L. Born on hearing the sad news.
