Radio 24 celebrates Walter Scheibli's 80th birthday
On Sunday, October 14, the legendary sports reporter Walter Scheibli will be 80 years old. Reason enough for Radio 24 to celebrate the likeable reporter all week long.
The highlights of Scheibli's radio career can be heard this week, as Radio 24 writes in a press release. Fans, the field hockey world and the Scheibli family congratulate the likeable reporter - and of course Walter Scheibli himself tells the best anecdotes from his life as Zurich's most popular sports reporter.
Walter Senior Scheibli has been broadcasting ZSC Lions games for Radio 24 since the 1982/83 season. The Zurich NLA club is now dedicating its home game against Biel next Sunday to the Radio 24 reporter. The commentator will be 80 years old on that very day. This birthday will be celebrated in the Hallenstadion with thousands of ZSC fans. The team will play in the game at 3:45 p.m. wearing retro jerseys from the 1982/83 season, when Scheibli and ZSC first came together. Radio 24 will be there live.
