Ola, Thomi boy – what a great time we’ve had together over the last 45 years. Firstly with Inter Altstadt, when you, a towering defender, and me, a finisher to be reckoned with, shook up the central Swiss football scene. Then there were our all-nighters spent playing the card game Belote, tennis matches where I never stood a chance and, finally, the unforgettable trips and birthday parties in Vietnam, South Africa and Corsica. And today, now that we’ve settled down a bit, the inspiring nights at your divine estate in Porticcio. Thank you for your friendship and unsurpassed generosity.
