Ulrich "Uli" Hesse (born 1966 in Dortmund) is a German freelance journalist, editor and author.

Life and work

He graduated from Bochum University in 1994, having written his M.A. thesis about baseball.[1] He has covered popular music for fanzines and magazines, such as the German edition of Rolling Stone,[2] but primarily writes about sports, predominantly (association) football.

Hesse has published articles in newspapers and magazines in a variety of countries, including England, United States, Sweden, Japan and Israel,[3] and was the editor of the German-language edition of "Champions", the official UEFA Champions League magazine,[4] for which he is now working as a contributing editor. Since 2002, he is a regular columnist for ESPN FC (formerly ESPNsoccernet),[5] which has been called the world's most popular football website.

So far, Hesse has published five books. "Tor! The Story of German Football" (2002)[6] was the first extensive English-language history of German football and has since been translated into Japanese, Danish and Polish. Two of his German-language books were nominated for the Football Book of the Year Award.[7]

Hesse is a Borussia Dortmund season ticket holder. He has listed the novelty song "Jilted John" by Jilted John as his all-time favourite 7" A-side and the punk rock classic "Born to Lose" by the Heartbreakers as the greatest-ever 7" B-side.[8][8][9] For more than a decade he published as "Hesse-Lichtenberger", a name acquired through marriage. In October 2009 he went back to his birth name and now usually publishes as Uli Hesse.
