Selbstsicher, ehrgeizig, temperamentvoll, ein Mann wie eine Eiche, geboren im Zeichen des Stiers — so kennen wir Rudi Assauer, den starken Mann der Königsblauen, den legendären supervisor des FC Schalke 04.

Doch das ist Vergangenheit, denn Rudi Assauer ist krank. Alzheimer. Sein Gedächtnis lässt langsam nach, die Erinnerungen verblassen und kehren nur noch in lichten Momenten zurück.
Der Sportjournalist Patrick Strasser hat Rudi Assauer mehrere Monate lang begleitet. In vielen persönlichen Gesprächen ist er mit ihm in die Vergangenheit gereist, um die letzten Erinnerungen an ein ereignisreiches Leben vor dem Vergessen zu bewahren.

Entstanden ist eine bewegende Autobiografie, die uns Rudi Assauer in vielen persönlichen Worten und Bildern ein letztes Mal so nahebringt, wie wir ihn kannten, die aber auch davon berichtet, wie ihn das Schicksal seiner Krankheit viel zu früh aus dem vollen Leben reißt.

Ein einzigartiges Buch über und gegen das Vergessen.
