In the annals of Scottish football, certain moments stand out, capturing the hearts of fans and etching themselves into the history of clubs. One such moment occurred in March 2013 when Steffen Wohlfarth, a German striker known affectionately as ‘The Wolf’, scored a last-minute winner for Ross County against Celtic. This thrilling encounter not only marked Wohlfarth’s first goal for the Staggies but also solidified his place in the hearts of County supporters.
The match against Celtic was a rollercoaster of emotions. Ross County found themselves trailing 2-0 within the first 21 minutes, with goals from Charlie Mulgrew and Gary Hooper. However, the Staggies rallied back, with Grant Munro and Sam Morrow scoring to level the match at 2-2 by halftime. Wohlfarth, who had yet to score in his first seven appearances, was initially named as a substitute.
Yet, fate had other plans. Coming on in the 76th minute, he seized the moment and scored the dramatic winner in the dying seconds of the match.
Wohlfarth’s celebration was as memorable as the goal itself. Inspired by Manchester United legend Eric Cantona, he celebrated with a puffed chest and arms raised high, embodying the joy and pride of a player who had just made his mark. Reflecting on that moment, Wohlfarth said, “It was a special moment. Brilliant.” His goal not only secured three points for Ross County but also transformed him into a fan favorite, forever remembered for that iconic strike.
Two months later, Wohlfarth’s brother Dominic witnessed his final game for Ross County, a 1-0 victory in the Highland derby against Inverness. Dominic’s journey to Scotland was filled with excitement, as he shared stories of his brother’s newfound fame. “The Celtic supporters took him round plenty of pubs in Edinburgh, they were partying with him,” Wohlfarth recalled, highlighting the bond of family and the joy of shared experiences in football.
After his time at Ross County, Wohlfarth transitioned into management, holding a UEFA A license and coaching at FV Ravensburg in Germany. Currently, he manages PadelCity in Dortmund, where he oversees indoor football pitches and promotes the growing sport of padel. Despite his managerial role, Wohlfarth remains connected to his roots, often reminiscing about his time in Scotland and the unforgettable moments that defined his career.
Wohlfarth’s legacy at Ross County is not just about the goals he scored but the spirit he brought to the club. His physical style of play and determination resonated with fans, making him a beloved figure. As he reflects on his career, he acknowledges the significance of that fateful match against Celtic, stating, “I speak so much about scoring the winner against Celtic.” His story serves as a reminder of the power of football to create lasting memories and connections.
