Timo Hildebrand

Timo Hildebrand commenced his professional career at German club VFB Stuttgart in 1999 and made 227 apperances for them until December 2006 when he was signed by Valencia on a free transfer after he refused a contract extension at Stuttgart.

Timo Hildebrand made his international debut for Germany in April 2004 against Romania in a friendly international and was the third choice goalkeeper for Germany at Euro 2004 and at the 2006 Germany World Cup but wasn't selected for the Euro 2008 finals.
