Neuer disappoints worn out taxi driver

A taxi driver in Germany was left 'bitterly disappointed' with his reward after returning Manuel Neuer's forgotten wallet.

The driver drove almost 75 miles to deliver the wallet to the German legend's manager at Tegernsee, Bavaria, along with his own contact details.

Despite the wallet reportedly containing around £680, Neuer rewarded Hazir with just a Bayern goalkeeper's shirt for his troubles. Hazir received the shirt as his reward in the post two weeks after returning the wallet, without comment or note of thanks. 

He told Sky Germany: "This finder's fee is a mockery. I have four children. I can't do anything with the jersey."

By law in Germany, anyone returning property worth €500 is entitled to 5% of the value, and an additional 3% for property worth anything over that, meaning that Hazir was owed only €34 for his troubles.

But having rushed 120km to return the wallet the driver is understandably aggrieved that he was not shown any further gratitude.
