Thomas Allofs (born 17 November 1959) is a German former professionalfootballer who played as astriker.
The younger brother of another footballer,Klaus Allofs, he was a prolific goalscorer, scoring nearly 200 overall goals as a professional, always playing in theBundesliga (a brief spell in France notwithstanding).
Allofs representedWest Germany at the1982 World Cup.
Born inDüsseldorf, Allofs started his professional career aged 19, netting five goals in 17 contests with local giantsFortuna Düsseldorf. Inhis first year, he combined with siblingKlaus for 29 team goals (out of 70, league's third-best), as Fortuna finished seventh; he also played in five matches in the club'sUEFA Cup Winners' Cuprunner-up run, including theextra timefinal loss againstFC Barcelona.[1]
In 1982, Allofs joined1. FC Kaiserslautern, where he proceeded to score at an impressive rate (an average of 15 per season), although the team did not win any silverware. Subsequently, he moved to1. FC Köln, rejoining with his brother in1986–87, and being crowned the league's top scorer inhis third season, with the team finishing second.
Allofs wrapped up his career in 1992 at his first club, after an unassuming five-month stint in France withRC Strasbourg in the1989–90 season.[2] He stayed connected with Fortuna as a director.
Allofs was an uncapped (an unused) member forWest Germany in the1982 FIFA World Cup campaign, which ended with runner-up honours. He would receive two caps during three years, the first coming on 16 October 1985 in a 1–0 defeat in Stuttgart againstPortugal in a1986 World Cupqualifier.[3]
