Patrik Berger (born 10 November 1973) is a retired Czech footballer. He played in the Czech Republic, Germany, and England. He is best remembered for his time at Liverpool where he won six trophies.
The success of the Czech Republic's national team in the Euro 1996 raised the profile of many players — including that of Berger, Pavel Nedvěd, and Karel Poborský — and convinced some of Europe's most prestigious clubs to purchase them. Capable of occupying midfield and forward positions, Berger became noted for his powerful strikes, surging runs, and strong left foot. Berger was beset with injuries throughout his career and received specialist treatment in the United States. He retired on 6 January 2010 due to knee injuries.

Famous quotes containing the word berger:
“The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together—the lover with the loved, the one who hates with the hated. Both passions are tested by separation.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
