[edit] Nottingham Forest
Eugen Bopp moved to Germany when he was very young and joined Bayern Munich as a youth. Bopp, knowing that he would find it hard to get in to the Bayern first team, happily switched life in Munich to join Nottingham Forest. Despite not playing a great deal of games in his Forest career he became something of a cult figure at Forest, and is still a favourite with the fans.
He played over 60 games for Nottingham, but only half of those were in the starting line-up in his four years at the club gaining 11 goals in total.
[edit] Rotherham United
Following his release from Nottingham Forest, he was taken on trial by Rotherham United for the majority of the South Yorkshire club's pre-season. After an impressive trial spell he signed a short term contract on the 3rd August 2006 and was given the number 25 shirt. As a result of his continued excellent performances on the pitch (and one spectacular goal against Scunthorpe United F.C.), Bopp was offered a contract extension until the end of the season. So far he has started 20 games for the Millers and scored 5 goals.
