Moritz Volz (born 21 January 1983) is a German former professional footballer, media pundit and scout. He is the assistant coach at Galatasaray. Volz played as a right-back with Schalke, Arsenal, Wimbledon, Fulham, Ipswich Town, FC St. Pauli and TSV 1860 Munich. Club career Early career Volz was born in Siegen and started his career in his native Germany at FC Schalke 04 before being spotted by Arsenal while playing for the German youth team. He was offered a contract and joined the Gunners in the summer of 1999. Volz's debut for the Gunners came in a League Cup defeat to Ipswich Town in 2000. With the club's academy, Volz also won the FA Youth Cup in 2000 and 2001. He made another appearance for Arsenal's first team a year later in a League Cup defeat to Sunderland. In February 2003, he was loaned out to Wimbledon, where he impressed by scoring on his debut against Brighton and going on to make nine further appearances for the Dons. He returned from loan in the summer of the same year before joining Fulham, again on loan, in August 2003. The move was made permanent in January 2004. Fulham At Fulham, Volz attained cult-figure status with the fans, in part due to his commitment, passion and community involvement. He was also popular with the club's faithful given that he rode his bicycle to home games. He had several nicknames at Craven Cottage, such as '220 Volz', 'The Electrician', 'Mr Resistor', 'The Hoff' due to his adulation of David Hasselhoff, 'The Lightbulb' and the rather simple 'Volzy'. For the match against Aston Villa on Saturday 21 October 2006, he had 'The Hoff' written on his boots for good luck and promptly scored his first goal in three years. Volz signed a contract extension on 9 December 2006, which kept him at the club until 2009. On 30 December 2006, he went on to score the 15,000th goal in Premier League history for Fulham against Chelsea. Inevitably, this feat gave birth to the new nickname '15,000 Volz'. As he scored that goal, Volz donated £15,000 to three charitable organisations: Kick 4 Life, The Prince's Trust, and Fulham Football Club's Community charity. In July 2008, Volz was awarded PPF Community Champion Award, which is associated with The Observer newspaper. On 28 August 2008, he signed for Championship side Ipswich Town on a season-long loan deal.
