🏴☠️ INSIDE EUROPE'S MOST UNIQUE FOOTBALL CLUB
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 02. 2023
- FC St. Pauli or Fußball-Club St Pauli von 1910 e.V in full are a football team based in Hamburg, Germany.
Their ideology and stance on social issues make them more famous for what happens off the pitch rather than on it. Currently playing in the 2. Bundesliga, this is a fascinating football with an incredible story.

What other unique football clubs are there?
Fortuna 95 Düsselforf
Orkney FC
As I know,either Kaiserslautern or Paderbon but there are all the other respective German clubs around,good friend Sam!!!🏋️♂️
1.FC Kaiserslautern, Eintracht Frankfurt, Dynamo Dresden .. in my opinion, these definitely are the three most interesting clubs to visit in Germany besides Dortmund where you've already been..
P.S.: don't trust people who say Düsseldorf or Paderborn..can only be a joke 😉
In Germany definitely Kaiserslautern, the Atmosphere is one of a kind. „Only“ German 2nd League but in terms of the Fans Champions League-worthy 🙌🏻
My Club for last 26 years. Been travelling from UK regularly during that time. Great Club, even though success and honours always elude them, and a great City. Whilst the 'New' Stadium looks impressive i much prefer the old Millerntor, ramdhackle, crumbling, proper football arena. Standing on the Nordkurve with all the headbangers was a real experience. Still, you cant stop progress and if they ever do get back to the Bundesliga(the only time ive experienced the Brown and Whites in such lofty company was a good many years ago, more used to Regionalliga and Zweite liga) at least the Stadium will look the biz.
Its wild how conditioned The media makes us
Dont be racist
Dont be facists
Dont hate on The poor or immigrants
Thats not left wing that should be basic humanity.
Just to give you an anecdote on your point from Germany:
A few years back, the German national team had a home game in Hamburg (which they played at the Volksparkstadium of Hamburg's other big club HSV) and they had their final practice with the media in attendance at Millerntor stadium. Somebody at the German football federation ordered the "No football for fascists" slogan prominently displayed on one of the stands to be covered so it wouldn't appear in the media covergae and the majority of the German public was like: "who the f*ck would disagree with a statement like that?"
Yep - surely most people have these values lol and most people are liberal/centrists rather than right or left.
i mean most st pauli fans are also socialists but ur right about the basic humanity thing
A lot of St Pauli fans accuse Hamburg fans of being racist despite them being Conservative
@The 90's no they're literally not lmao
Former player, manager and director of St Pauli, Thomas Meggle, is now a BoD member at Dunfermline Athletic. He fronts a company involving 3 others that made a majority share holder bid for DAFC in 2021.
They just confirmed a friendly in Dunfermline soon
Aye you rats are in bed with the smelly brigade too
Another great video Sam. Keep up the good work 👏
Great video and respect that you show clubs like st Pauli to the world!
St Pauli is the area the Beatles did a lot of their early work, and growing up
Yep. Be some stories to be told about their time there lol
From my point of view here in Germany, FC St. Pauli sadly has become some sort of lifestyle brand within the last 10 or 20 years (at least outside of Hamburg) instead of a proper football club because of marketing reasons, documentaries on TV, CZcams etc. Today, people from the upper middle class stick a skull & bones badge on the back of their SUV so that they can feel rebellious once again in their lifetime without really following the football team.
How wrong can you be ?
@@how-yee He's not wrong. All of us in Germany outside of actual St. Pauli fans see them for what they are now. A lifestyle brand for the middle-class to upper-class champagne socialists. It’s a merchandise company first and foremost, football club second. It’s disingenuous virtue signalling dressed up in a costume of being punk.
A merchandise company with a department for football. :D
I agree 100%. Asked a long term resident of Kensington in London, As you have a St Pauli mini Scarf on the back of your Jaguar SUV(He needs it as his nearest supermarket is A quarter of a mile (0.402 kilometres away) He'd been to Hamburg on a Training Course for his part time job.
Although has his house is worth around £1.9 million pounds I reckon he had the job just to keep him occupied. I asked if he knew the names of any of St Pauli players "I spoke briefly to Icelandic player" So he's definitely a loyal St Pauli supporter.🤔
@@how-yee State why someone is wrong rather than just simply saying they are wrong.
Thanks for making this, very interesting!
Another amazing video sam love it keep up the good work also will you be going to falkirk vs Ayr united in the scottish cup just asking because you made a video on Darvel vs Falkirk?
A bunch of us saw matches there in 1991 and 1992 on the way back from Chelsea pre-season tours in Scandinavia. There was only seats on one side and terraces all round back then. Everybody was in black...everybody. We were made welcome and a fella called Dirk showed us around. First year, visited the Supporters Club and went up to see the Rote Flora and the protests / confrontations with the police. Other time, were invited to a birthday party held on a huge floating pontoon in the nearby docks. Every time a massive ship went past, a minute later we'd be clinging onto to all the beer and grub as the bow wave hit. lol. We later all piled up to the street off the Reeperbahn when reports than HSV fans were having a pop at a St. Pauli bar. Backed them off out of it with the help of a few off duty British squaddies. Love the football culture in Germany, something we've lost quite a lot of in England. Happy memories.
Hey man, I love your videos. In this video u walked throu my street, so sad i didnt see u ;D keep it up
They came to the States back in 2018 and played my club Detroit City FC. one of the best soccer weekends I was ever part of. the club and the players were fantastic. the Milentoor is on my bucket list
I remember them playing my late club New York Cosmos {Cosmos won ! } during same tour.
Football
@@AlphaAbyss_ - ABSOLUTELY ! Association Football.
You kick the ball with your foot ie football. NFL you throw weird shaped object so throw egg ball. You speak English as England had much much longer history so we make the rules on words. NFL been around 80 odd years football double that. Please don’t say soccer you sound like a knob.
@@marksilverbridge130 Soccer slang for Association...Was started by the public school brats of Cambridge & Oxford... as an alternative to Rugger...Still used in countries that have other sports called football like U.S. , Canada , Aussy ,Ireland {maybe }..Anyway those football games are closer to Rugby.... Pls remember word Soccer is a Brit word !
Very interesting to see the stadium and the values that the club has. Good episode.
Visited Germany with my wife and kids in summer 22 to see her sister and sister’s husbands family and the husband is a huge Hansa fan. He got us tickets to Hansa vs St. Pauli and it was the most insane football experience I’ve ever had! Especially since Hansa won 2-0 which included an outrageous Verhoek bicycle kick! Respect to St. Pauli and obviously their derby has its roots in political differences but honestly Hansa was a lovely area and most Germans are on the same page politically compared to where I am in the USA. Great video as always!
Fuck you got blessed with that match up! Rostock is widely considered as one of the best atmospheres in the German game along side your Frankfurt’s, Dortmund’s, etc. Sounds like an amazing game that you got to see!
@@IrishBorussen it was fucking incredible! I couldn’t replicate that experience in 1000 lifetimes if I tried. Got lucky with the timing of it all and our wives were royally pissed at us that day but it was truly worth it 🤣
EVERYONE HATES ST.PAULI!!
I was in the Stadium(like Every Game)it was one of my Greatest Experiences in my Life!SCHEISS ST.PAULI!!
@@nonder92 Annoyed wives are part of the experience, that's what the beer is for 😆
@@Skinny_Popeye 🤣🤣🤣
Was a huge Willie Pettigrew fan back in the 70's and recall he almost signed up for St Pauli. Not sure why it fell through but Motherwell were hoping for a big payday.
So, I still keep an interest in St Pauli and your video was an excellent insight into the club and its history.
I grew up in St. Pauli, went to college right next to the stadium and still race for St.Paulis cycling team. It's amazing to see that so many people are interested in such a small team but at the same time it's crazy to me that supporting basic human rights such as not having to face fascism is considered political
I went to the Milentoor before. Matchdays are mad, sometimes they have a concert before the games.
St. Pauli's sweetest footballing achievements are beating HSV and Bayern.
With an affiliated fangroup for St Pauli based near me in the UK, I absolutely need to visit here.
Some cracking shots taken, especially in the ground and the Air raid shelter in the background. Fascinating stuff all round!
You did your research, great video mate!
there used to be a club up there where you filmed your intro. and the hertz tower, the other one you couldnt get in to, has been closed to the public for a good 20 years now.
Ist das Übel & Gefährlich weg?
@@khktgnk57 Es gab ja noch mehr Clubs als das U&G
wer sagt denn wirklich "Hertz Turm" zum Fernsehturm?
Travelled to Hamburg about 10 years ago to watch Celtic v HSV in the Europa League. Great city. If you were looking for a good panoramic view of the city there's a church next to the Rathaus in the city centre called St James. We climbed up the spire past the bell tower and what a view. 🍀☠️
Its not St.James, its Sankt Michaelis (in Hamburg only "Michel") :-)
Superb video again Sam👌🏻
Great video m8. one quick note though: you wouldn't call the German second division Bunderliga Zwei but zweite Bundesliga (meaning second Bundesliga). just thought id let you know :)
St Pauli have said they'll play Dunfermline in June at a pre season friendly today so aptly timed XD
Great video as always. I wonder if you visit the match on sunday against Rostock? Would be so amazing if you actually got a ticket but I guess that´s almost impossible without being a club member. Anyways enjoy the rest of your time in Hamburg whether you will experience the derby atmosphere or not.
Im a st Pauli local and I loved this video. Will you be here for the match against Hansa?
Thanks very much Matthias. Glad you enjoyed this one. Sadly no, I’m back in the UK now but I’d love to come back for a game one day’
Lots of folks seem to think politics and football should be separate, as if being neutral towards hate crimes is good enough.
As a Pars supporter I'm thrilled to have Thomas Meggle on board trying to instill the same club culture at Dunfermline. If we're anything like St Pauli in 10-20 years the city would undoubtedly change for the better.
As a fellow Pars supporter, I welcome the Germans investment and involvement. However, I don't want the politics. Far left or far right, it's two cheeks of the same arse. Anyway, the Pars have their own history and culture as does Dunfermline the city. No need to bolt on some other clubs.
Politics and sports seperated only is mandatory for everyone except the far left.
Always the same bs with the left.
Ok then, let's also crate a right-w football club
@@vsong7496 Guys like him and the media wouldn’t shut up about it if there was a overtly right wing club around.
@@LHBH8 I don't want an overly right-wing one, just a normal one. But even then they would still lose it 🤦
i remember i went for a pre season friendly against stoke in 2018, paid 5€ for a ticketfor a really good game of football, a great atmosphere even for a pre season match
The WW2 Flak Tower has a club right behind the closed doors where you were standing. Used for concerts. Been there a couple of times.
Terrific video, Sam
Cheers K man!
Hi I'm going to Hamburg next week , what's the easiest stadium to get to using public transport St Pauli or Hamburg SV?
Jackson Irvine (Australia) plays for St Pauli, so he'd have to be the only St Pauli player to ever play in a World Cup (Qatar 2022).
Bouhaddouz (Morocco 2018). Kereyeh (Ghana 2022) and a few others played WC during their careers but not at the same time as playing for St Pauli.
Jan Kocian, Ivo Knoflicek (1990 Czech), Aziz Bouhaddouz (2018 Morocco)
and he shot the very important goal against Hansa Rostock yesterday bur one to open the door for the german premier league.
Love the channel!!
Thank you!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Dunfermline meant to be playing St Pauli in the summer hopefully we both get promotion
They did
currently on top of the table 💪🏼 hope we'll make it this time (and keep HSV down😂)
It´s nice here mate. You realy understood what it`s all about. Respect mate
I’ve been in the big bunker. It’s actually a gig venue I watched blossoms there. Remember thinking wtf is this place as I was walking towards it but there’s multiple rooms with raves/events on
Going to watch Hertha Berlin in Saturday, looking forward to checking out the famous Olympicstadion!
First Sentence says it all! Thank you 👍
Are you goin to the game st.pauli vs. Hansa Rostock?
Today was announced dunfermline vs st pauli in the summer
Another great vlog
Funny you post this video the same day St Pauli have announced they are coming to Scotland in June to play Dunfermline in a friendly
Also playing Dunfermline next pre season
Great content
Always wanted to visit st Pauli met plenty of fans over for Celtic games and always been great guys
in the st pauli district the beatles arrived to play in hamburg in 1960
why do you call it a "WWII tower"? - it's basically a , in both languages btw (plus an anti-aircraft defense on the roof). Unfortunately it is too stable to simply be torn down, especially since it is in the middle of a residential area, but now the roof is at least completely covered in greenery and that looks really (relatively) cool
Fantastic as always Sam ☘️
Red Star is a soon-to-be Ligue 2 club which has similar values and history if you wanna visit
The Pars are getting a friendly against these guys, cannae wait.
Great video 👏
Cheers son 🙌🏼
btw, the guy from "the Dortmund family" spoke with a broad Brandenburg/Berlin accent 🤣 (appr. 500 kms in between)
Class, has to be on the bucket list for most fans to go there. Unique ground.
Top video
I dont get livorno and st pauli football clubs……they are just for hipsters.
Livorno is a working-class club, not much in common with hipsters.
With St. Pauli, its 100% true. That's what he mentioned in the beginning - many people have sympathies for St. Pauli just because of this. Especially the Days around the Derby against HSV, many people who aren't into football at all turn to St. Pauli supportes these days.
The big tower you tried to get into is the TV tower, just about all German cities have them
No, he had it right, it's a WW2 anti aircraft bunker.
@@RodParadise69 no I mean the tv tower in the distance that he wasn’t allowed up
One of Hamburg's greatest nightclubs, the Übel&Gefährlich (Nasty&Dangerous) is located within that tower...
@@michaelengelmann2925 bunker war mal gut, heute eher naja
Bohemian FC Dublin Ireland have a link with St Pauli FC
Celtic 🤝 St Pauli
Love it when the Dad says "Komm Jung ich zeig dir mal was" xD
Good view of the city from the Elbphilarmonie.
Club member who loves the club for what it stands for and for the often great atmosphere. But yes it’s kinda true it’s more often lifestyle and political surroundings than things football which drive the club.
Think it has become more extreme now coz on one hand we have the less than mediocre football like a dwarf at the sport side of things and a merchandising giant which always try to use football as a vehicle to transport its political views. If football becomes too big, the message will maybe become too small, coz it may have to find its way pass all those merchandise and football related stuff. If the football becomes too bad, the club will relegated again to 3rd tier divisions and much needed money is missing for all those ongoing social projects.
At the end of the day the club is way to big to perform such poorly when it comes to football , but there are supporters (like me) who still hope the club stays small and second tier that football and merch won’t become too dominant so it’s enough room to carry out social messages …. So FCSP finds itself in a weird place hard to balance out always between not wanting to lose its soul or overstretch merchandise and yuppie image or wanting to become a proper football team coz under normal circumstances ikes of Bochum, Mainz, Augsburg are no match for a club as big as FCSP
For a good view of the city, try the St Michel Church
Excellent as always Sam 👏👏👏 Come on St.Pauli ✊
OOOOOOOOFFFFF JESUS! hahaha love it! Been there myself its a great place with the ST.Pauli Bhoys!!!
Playing Dunfermline in June apparently.
Haha yeah just saw the news this morning
@Footy Adventures trend setting again Sam 🤣
I think AS Livorno is the real and only Leftwing Club in Italy. Sampdoria, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Chievo or As Roma maybe in some cases only!
Livorno for sure, no way As Roma fans would advocate for LGBT and Refugees.
@@LHBH8 Yeah, wasnt sure to list As Roma as well honestly, just cause there rival is obvious rightwing Lazio 😁...
@The 90's I doubt most people care about politics anymore. Politics is gay.
we love st pauli from celtic 🍀💚
🤎🤍💚
Woke fc
@@MW92. EDL United
@@bechri9573 fact 👌🤝
There used to be a nightclub in that flak tower, dunno if it's still there.
00:58 some of these doors are actually doors to clubs in the bunker
It would be nice if you could come to the game HSV against St Pauli
good luck in purchasing a ticket - Maracaná wouldn't be large enough so there won't be a public sale, at all
Can't believe my club makes an appearance at 8:22
Not bad for a part time Irish League team
Same sticker is at Celtic park and solitude
Would love you to go to Greece to panathinakos, Aek and Olimpiakos
When Fashion scores against " that other mob"..
..
A German team portraying themselves anti-nazi, then having their team walk out on the pitch wearing “brown shirts” is sooo funny.
No wonder the guide could not give a better answer than all the others were taken, and they just wanted to be different.
They also sing some disgusting songs about the Brits bombing Dresden!
@@richardmurray2068 Do they? Can you tell me which song? I'm there since 1989 on each match day. Must have missed it.
I live in Hamburg and if St. Pauli was not an extreme left-wing club, I would even support them.
Weird how the historic English churchman WILLIAM TYNDALL once got himself shipwrecked off of the shores of Hamburg at TINDAL.
St. Pauli's doing good this season!
Great post, always wanted to go there, Forza Sankt Pauli 🔵⚪🟤🔴
Standing against racism and facism is not sanctimonious or hipsterish. My father was anti-nazi and anti-fascist - he was a pilot in the RAF during WW2.
Woke means being aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues especially of racial and social injustice. How 'woke' has been used as an insult says more about the people saying that than anything else.
I was in Hamburg for the G20 and it's a truly great city.
a lot of modern"woke" people tend to not tolerate any opinion but their own which is quite ironic imo. Some of the stuff "woke" people sometimes say or stand for is outrageous, which is why some people, me included, don't give them a pass simply because they primarily stand against evil things such as fascism (their definition of fascism is really vague and can be extended to frame anything as evil that is against their current agenda).
So what if your father was an anti fascist. He knew what real fascism was. You on the other hand are one of the new fascists who are intolerant of free speech and thought.
@@David-yj7qn And I'm sure you're tolerant of woke people's opinions aren't you?
@@geoffpoole483 I don't need to like someones opinions, but what can I do? Free speech is a right for a reason and the people who try to abolish it are mostly left wing at the moment. Just look at the people who were being banned from social media for comments on covid. Or people being ostracized from society and discrimminated against because they didn't want state and media pushed encroachment on their body.
@@David-yj7qn Grow up, giving a shit about other people doesn't have a label, it's what it is to be a functional human being and member of society.
You are a very smart guy mate
More about a WWII bunker building than St Pauli.
Parkway Drive the Australian rock band sponsor them.
Nice one again sam, but surprised you didn't mention the ex club president Conny who was and is fighting for LGBT+ issues. I think what you said about Pauli being peoples 2nd team is pretty much true. I know fans from BvB, Schalke, Bremen Bielefeld, Frankfiurt, Kaiserslautern and they all say Pauli is their Nr. 2. Not for me but I do check their results. Who would be peoples 2nd team in England or Scotland.. I imagine for many that either Celtic or Rangers would be, but I dunno. Mine is Wimbledon ☺ in Scotland it's Greenock Morton✊As u can see, the smaller clubs
Mai, 12th, 2024 and St. Pauli is back in league one.
St.Pauli is more politics than football. That sucks. Real football can be found elsewhere in Hamburg.
5:47 he didn't!!
We are not a kult. We are just different St.Pauli die einzige Möglichkeit
Marketing tool more than a club. On board with the sentiments but I prefer a club like Union Berlin with the same political sentiments that don't use it as a marketing tool so gain capital.
They look like a German equivalent of Dulwich Hamlet
Good comparison. They seem very similar 👍
@@FootyAdventures I'll be going to Dulwich on good Friday to watch my team Cheshunt so I'll find out for myself, great video again Sam 👍
Or Clapton CFC, a club who based their away shirt design on the flag of the Spanish Republic.
DYNAMO DRESDEN NEXT???
After a google, St Paul claim many of Hamburgs 'red light district workers' are St Pauli fans. What a joke of a club LOL
What an idiotic comment.
Beautiful ww2 tower. Those people knew how to build things
i can understand why Celtic have an affiliation with st Pauli....cause it looks like Parkhead.
gotta get yourself to a game next time!
I've never even been to Germany but St Pauli is one of my favourite clubs.
I never ever would have guessed with such a virtuous user name
Woke Fc. Joke of a club
Gentrified area and stadium, I found not the same experience as a football tourist but it is what it is, modern football.
Altona93 FC in the Danish quarter of Hamburg, where quite a few St Pauli fans are at and would make for an interesting video.
Never will I bet for st pauli again knowing this
better keep your money
🤣
Clubs should have Identitys and its great they do. But with St Pauli it feels so manufactured and my experience with UK people who have the mersch is that they dont know anything about football other than St Pauli are cool.
No one have Livorno badges and they are just as left wing if not more
St Pauli represents everything anti-system closely related to anarchism, whilst Livorno is more of a traditional working class club with communist undertones.
I can vouch for what your saying and indeed much of their support seemed to view the actual game on the pitch as secondary and got the impression fee people even knew the names of their own players that said the atmosphere generated in the standing areas was absolutely top class!
