I just looked them up on Wiki. Interesting history with the original club founded by miners and an offshoot banned by the Nazis.

Now in the 4th tier - Regionalliga Nordost - Northeast league.

Their current squad is all German apart from one Lichtenstein player, but 'on 6 April 2001, Energie became the first Bundesliga club to field a side made up of 11 foreign players. Energie often fielded nine or ten foreigners that season.'

Interesting. I had forgotten (or never knew!) that they had had such a decent stint at Bundesliga level.

Back to Brexit, interesting to read that the sadly departed John le Carré had said as follows.

"I’m not just a Remainer. I’m a European through and through, and the rats have taken over the ship.”
"We Brits are all nationalists now. Or so Johnson would have us believe. But to be a nationalist you need enemies and the shabbiest trick in the Brexiteers’ box was to make an enemy of Europe. “Take back control!” they cried, with the unspoken subtext: and hand it to Donald Trump, along with our foreign policy, our economic policy, our health service and, if they can get away with it, our BBC."

Good man. Sad loss.
