Cologne's English talent Mikey Moore ready for Rhine derby debut against Borussia Mönchengladbach
· Bundesliga-Official
In-form England U20 captain Mikey Moore cannot wait to get a first taste of the Rhine derby as the Cologne midfielder gears up for Sunday’s home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach (kick-off: 3.30pm CEST).
Tony Woodcock has long held iconic status in Cologne as the first Englishman to play for the club across two stints between 1979 and 1988, adding lustre to his reputation with a brace of goals in derbies against the Foals.
If any of the three English players in the current Cologne squad, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey , Reigan Heskey or Moore, find the net on Matchday 6, they will earn themselves their own piece of Rhine Derby folklore, having already set a Bundesliga record this season .
