Eugen Bopp (born September 5, 1983 in Kiev, Ukraine) is a Ukrainian-born German footballer currently playing for Crewe Alexandra. He was born in Kyiv, Ukraine but has German nationality. He is an attacking midfield player with a reputation for scoring spectacular goals from long distance.

Football career

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. He is probably best known during his time at Forest, for when he came on as a late substitute against Gillingham on the last day of the 2004-05 season to score a goal, which ultimately took Gillingham down to the third tier of English football along with previously relegated Nottingham Forest and Rotherham United.

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.
