Uwe Kamps (born 12 June 1964) is a German former professionalfootballer who played as agoalkeeper.[1]
Born inDüsseldorf, Kamps joinedBorussia Mönchengladbach from amateur club BV 04 Düsseldorf. On 12 March 1983, he made his debut with the first team, starting in a 3–0 home win againstArminia Bielefeld,[2] and finished hisdebut season in theBundesliga with 12 games and 20 goals conceded, including four in the final round, a 6–4 success atBorussia Dortmund.
After three additional campaigns with only three matches combined, Kamps became the side's undisputed starter, going on to amass 390 top division games. In1991–92 helost theGerman Cup final toHannover 96, after a legendary semifinal againstBayer Leverkusen where he saved all fourpenalties from the opposition (Martin Kree,Ioan Lupescu,Heiko Herrlich andJorginho); he would start and win the same competition in1995, after a 3–0 final win overVfL Wolfsburg.
Kamps remained in Borussia's books until the end of2003–04. He was influential in its2001 return to the top level after two years of absence, appearing in 67 out of 68 matches in the second division over the two years. However, the signing ofSwiss internationalJörg Stiel relegated him to the bench for the following three seasons, with his only appearance coming when he was brought on as a substitute on the occasion of the club's final league match at theBökelbergstadion in May 2004. It was his 390th Bundesliga appearance.[3]
