Hahnemann: There's more to music and football than the Anfield Rap

Premiership footballers have long endured a reputation of loving only pop, R ‘n B or easy listening.

But, Wolves goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann is changing that image.

The ‘keeper caught the opening night of the Five Finger Death Punch/Shadows Fall UK tour at Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall earlier this week.

Hahnemann, who has declared his love of Slipknot and Tool in the past, rushed to see the metal acts after a reserve team match with Fulham.

He said: “I was recommended to check them [Five Finger Death Punch] out by Kasey Keller this summer, and I’ve been loving it since… although my wife isn’t!”

The US-born footballer also revealed that a blast of metal is the perfect pre-match warm up.

He added: “When you wanna get psyched up for training or for a game, you gotta listen to something that gets you going, and for me that’s metal. It gets me pumped up for performing in front of a crowd.”

The Five Finger Death Punch/Shadows Fall tour runs until December 2nd.
