'''Thomas Broich''' (born 29 January 1981) is a German former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as an [[attacking midfielder]]. A [[SpVgg Unterhaching]] youth product, Broich went on to play for [[SV Wacker Burghausen|Wacker Burghausen]], [[Borussia Mönchengladbach]], [[1. FC Köln]], and [[1. FC Nürnberg]] in Germany. In 2010, he moved to Australia joining [[Brisbane Roar FC|Brisbane Roar]] where he spent seven seasons before retiring.

A dual [[Johnny Warren Medal]] winner, a three-time A-League Champion, a two time A-League Premier, a two time Gary Wilkins Medal winner and the winner of the 2014 [[Joe Marston Medal]], Broich is considered one of the greatest players in A-League history.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Davidson |first1=John |title=THOMAS BROICH: THE A-LEAGUE PEAKED YEARS AGO |url=https://www.ftbl.com.au/news/thomas-broich-the-a-league-peaked-years-ago-499562 |publisher=FourFourTwo |access-date=1 October 2018}}</ref> With 66 assists, Broich is the leading assister in A-League history.<ref>{{cite web|title=A-League elimination finals fixtures: Burning questions about Brisbane v Western Sydney, City v Perth|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/aleague-elimination-finals-fixtures-burning-questions-about-brisbane-v-western-sydney-city-v-perth/news-story/f32fe2eee2018332eee6624d981d59c5|website=Fox Sports Australia|date=21 April 2017 |publisher=News Corporation|access-date=21 April 2017}}</ref>

==Club career==

===Germany===
[[File:Broich and Helmes.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Broich (second from right) celebrates a goal with teammates in 2007]]
Broich played in several [[Bavaria]]n youth teams such as ASV Rott am Inn, [[TSV 1860 Rosenheim]] and [[SpVgg Unterhaching]]. Later he played for the U23 team of Unterhaching and could have earned promotion to the [[Regionalliga Süd (1994–2012)|Regionalliga Süd]] (Then Germany's 3rd league), but the manager did not include him in the first squad so he decided to leave. He signed a contract with [[SV Wacker Burghausen]] of the [[Regionalliga Süd (1994–2012)|Regionalliga Süd]] and earned promotion to the [[2. Bundesliga]] in 2002. During this time, he gained the reputation of a "thinking-man's player", being dubbed "[[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]]" by his teammates, who often spotted him reading classic German literature and listening to [[classical music]]. With Burghausen, he became a standout midfielder and caught the eye of several top [[Bundesliga]] teams, including [[FC Bayern Munich]].

In January 2004, he decided to sign with [[Borussia Mönchengladbach]] in the [[Bundesliga]]. Alongside [[Bastian Schweinsteiger]] and [[Lukas Podolski]], Broich was considered to be the "bearer of hope" for the Germany national team and many media sources predicted that he would be a future player for the national team. However, he injured his foot in May 2004 and was unable to participate in the [[2004 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship]] with the German team. During his injury, he struggled with the pressure to represent his country, drawing comparisons between himself and [[Sebastian Deisler]], another Germany national team player who in 2003 suffered depression as a result of enormous national pressure, eventually retiring from football.<ref name="Tom Meets Zizou">''Tom Meets Zizou''</ref>

At the start of the 2004–05 season, Mönchengladbach fired manager [[Holger Fach]] and hired Dutch coach [[Dick Advocaat]]. Broich became a fan favorite and his jersey surged to the top-sold in the club's fan shop. However, Broich clashed on and off the field with his new manager, Advokaat criticising "Mozart's" lack of physicality and free-spirited style, even going as far to sending him down to play with the club's second team. Despite this tough period in the Bundesliga, Broich was called up to participate in the preliminary team for the 2006 World Cup, and after a standout match against [[Scotland]], caught the attention of the national media, including future national team coach [[Joachim Löw|Jogi Löw]]. Advocaat was eventually fired, and Broich, under new trainer [[Horst Köppel]], returned to the starting rotation, playing a large role in helping the team avoid relegation.<ref name="Tom Meets Zizou" />
[[File:Thomas Broich, Thomas Kessler.jpg|thumb|right|Broich, with [[Thomas Kessler (footballer)|Thomas Kessler]] in 2009]]
During the season hiatus, Broich found out that his contract with Mönchengladbach would not be extended. [[Borussia Dortmund]] were very interested in signing Broich as a replacement for [[Tomáš Rosický]], who had signed with [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11899/2331966/Dortmund-eye-Broich-move | title = Dortmund eye Broich move | work = Sky Sports | access-date = 19 April 2012}}</ref> But it was rivals [[1. FC Köln]], hoping to bolster their squad to gain promotion from the second league to the Bundesliga, who were also strongly interested, who Broich signed with for the 2006–07 season. It was a season of ups and downs, with the highlight being a 4–2 [[DFB-Pokal]] win over [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]], who at that time were ranked first in the Bundesliga. Broich scored the deciding goal in the 89th minute. However, back in the Second Bundesliga, he clashed with newly recruited coach [[Christoph Daum]], who he felt was not giving him enough playing time. Köln gained promotion to the Bundesliga, but the relationship between player and coach never improved.

Broich again started to think about playing abroad, attempting to move to the Australian [[A-League]] with [[Adelaide United FC|Adelaide United]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/soccer/reds-could-take-broich/story-e6frectc-1225710246805 | title = Reds could take Thomas Broich | first = Val | last = Migliaccion | work = AdelaideNow | date = 5 May 2009 | access-date = 13 October 2011 | publisher = adelaidenow.com.au}}</ref> However, he was convinced by former Mönchengladbach assistant manager and Broich-fan [[Michael Oenning]], who now had a head coach position with [[1. FC Nürnberg]], to join him on his new team. Broich signed a one-year contract on 9 June 2009, but, after an early season-injury, he had a slow start and considered giving football in Germany up for good. After only seven season caps, he completed his contract with Nürnberg and again began to look south to Australia.

===Brisbane Roar===
[[File:Thomas Broich powers a shot just over the top (8398839216).jpg|thumb|300px|left|Broich (centre, shooting) in action with Brisbane Roar in 2013]]
On 11 May 2010, Broich signed a three-year deal with [[A-League]] club [[Brisbane Roar FC|Brisbane Roar]]. He made his debut for the club against [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in a pre-season [[Translink Cup]] game. He scored his first goal for the Roar in round seven against [[Adelaide United FC|Adelaide United]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=35419|title=Brisbane defeat Adelaide|date=17 September 2010|publisher=A-League|access-date=23 October 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101104142439/http://a-league.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=35419|archive-date=4 November 2010}}</ref> With six goals and 14 assists, Broich was instrumental in his debut season, which saw the Roar win their first ever Premiership and Championship.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://au.sports.yahoo.com/football/news/article/-/8020992/broich-having-immediate-impact-brisbane-roars-postecoglou/ | title = Broich having immediate impact – Brisbane Roar's Postecoglou | publisher = sports.yahoo.com | date = 27 September 2010 | access-date = 13 October 2011}}</ref> Broich assisted both of Brisbane's goals in the grand final. It was his corner kick that assisted [[Erik Paartalu]]'s last minute equaliser to send the final to a penalty shootout.

Broich won the [[Brisbane Roar FC end of season awards#Gary Wilkins Medal (Player of the Year)|Gary Wilkins Medal]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brisbaneroar.com.au/default.aspx?s%3Dnewsdisplay%26id%3D39382 |access-date=12 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405160134/http://www.brisbaneroar.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=39382 |archive-date=5 April 2011 | title = Broich claims Gary Wilkins Medal}}</ref> which is awarded to Brisbane Roar's player of the year and was runner up to [[Marcos Flores]] for the [[Johnny Warren Medal]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/uniteds-marcos-flores-wins-johnny-warren-medal/story-e6frf9if-1226016824885| title = United's Marcos Flores wins Johnny Warren medal | publisher = Herald Sun | first = Grantlay | last = Bernard | date = 7 March 2011 | access-date = 13 October 2011}}</ref> which is awarded to the A-League's player of the year. He finished the 2010–11 season with 12 assists, which was the highest in the league. Broich has only lost two A-League matches while playing for Brisbane, a 3–0 away loss to the [[Melbourne Victory FC|Melbourne Victory]] on 12 September 2010 and a 1–0 home loss to the [[Newcastle Jets FC|Newcastle Jets]] on 28 January 2012. In the [[2011–12 A-League|2011–12 season]], Broich won the [[Johnny Warren Medal]] for player of the year and the A-League Foreign Player of the Year award.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/brisbane-roar-import-thomas-broich-wins-johnny-warren-medal-at-a-league-awards-function-in-sydney/story-e6frf4gl-1226323305146 | title = Brisbane Roar import Thomas Broich wins Johnny Warren Medal at A-League awards function in Sydney | first = Liam | last = FitzGibbon | date = 10 April 2012 | access-date = 11 April 2012 | publisher = foxsports.com.au}}</ref>

On 10 September 2012, it was announced that Broich had signed a four-year contract extension with the Roar, which means he is contracted to Brisbane until the end of the 2016–17 campaign.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/brisbaneroar/news-display/roar-re-sign-six-stars/49014 | title = Roar re-sign six stars | date = 10 September 2012 | access-date = 5 October 2012 | publisher = footballaustralia.com.au}}</ref>

In the [[2014 A-League Grand Final|Grand Final]] on 4 May 2014, Broich was named joint Man of the Match along with [[Iacopo La Rocca]] as Brisbane came from a goal down to defeat [[Western Sydney Wanderers]] 2–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/blog/_/name/espnfcunited/id/14429?cc=5901 |title=Brisbane cement dynasty as A-League continues upward trajectory |publisher=ESPNFC |date=5 May 2014 |access-date=5 May 2014 }}</ref>

On the opening game of the 2014–15 season, Broich netted a free kick opening the scoring for Brisbane, despite eventually going down 2–1 to Adelaide. Brisbane's horrible start to the season was further hampered when Broich was sidelined for six weeks after undergoing ankle surgery. Broich scored again against Adelaide in the elimination final, dispossessing defender [[Dylan McGowan]] to level the scores at 1–1. However, Brisbane again went down 2–1.

On 19 April 2017, Broich announced that he would be leaving the Roar at the end of the season, ending a seven-year association with the club.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/news/broich-exits-brisbane-all-good-things-come-to-an-end-458715|title=Broich exits Brisbane: 'All good things come to an end'|newspaper=[[FourFourTwo]]|date=19 April 2017}}</ref>
