VfB Stuttgart: The Impossible Dream

It has been nothing short of a legendary Bundesliga season. From Bayern Munich's dynasty coming to an end, Bayer Leverkusen winning an invincible double, Heidenheim achieving European football in their first-ever season in the German top-flight, there have been quite a few incredible storylines. However, perhaps the biggest shock has been the 'rags-to-riches' story of VfB Stuttgart.

Founded in 1893, Stuttgart boasts over 100,000 members, making it the largest sports club in Baden-Württemberg and the eighth-largest football club in Germany. Die Roten's golden period began in the start of the 1950s, winning the German Championship in 1950 and 1952 and the DFB-Pokal in 1954 and 1958, whilst they would also claim the league title in 1984 after finishing level on 58 points with HSV and Gladbach, albeit ahead on goal differential.
