Hannes Schmidhauser was born and grew up in Ticino. He studied drama at Zurich's Bühnenstudio to be an actor, which he became, but his activities were not limited to this field of action, to say the least. He is indeed known to have performed as a clown (in duet with Emil Hegethschweiler at the Kie Circus), to have had a career in soccer (playing three times in national league, six times in B league, and even winning the Swiss Cup with the Grasshoppers team!), to have been a reporter, a radio director (at Radio Monte Ceneri), a film assistant director, film director, film producer and distributor. Quite dizzying! Of course he was mainly an actor, but as can be expected, he would not be content to tread the boards. He naturally did so (playing at the Hegi Theater from 1947 to 1950 and later in Konstanz, Francfort and Berlin) but he also appeared on the big and small screens. Being chosen by Franz Schnyder for the role of Uli, Jeremias Gotthelf's "hero", was the chance of his lifetime. In "Uli, der Knecht" (1954)" and its sequel Uli, der Pächter (1955), he was so perfect as Uli, the lazy bawdy farm hand who reforms and becomes a prosperous farmer, that Swiss spectators rushed to the houses playing them and made a triumph to these two Gotthelf adaptations capturing so well the soul of eternal Switzerland. Twenty-odd roles would follow both at the cinema and on TV, his final one being General Sutter (1999), in the eponymous movie. In 1963, the talented fregoli even tried his hand at direction with Seelische Grausamkeit (1962). But, always coming up with something unexpected, he boldly put his work in line with the French New Wave, a few years before newcomers like Alain Tanner,Claude Goretta, and Michel Soutter started revolutionizing Swiss Cinema. Hannes Schmidhauser died in the early 2000s, aged 73. He is sorely missed and will be remembered as a major contributor to the aura of his native country, and in more than just one area!- Sangay Jäger was born on 13 July 2001 in Locarno, Switzerland.

In 1992/1993 he moved again for three years to the "Servette Geneva" club, with whom he became Swiss champion in 1994. From the 1996/1997 season he was appointed to the club "CD Tenerife".

Here he had an impressive career that, after just a few appearances for "Hansa", secured him a place in the German national team. At the same time, he became the league's star player. On September 2, 1998, Neuville played his first game in the DFB team with a 2-1 win against Malta. From 1999/2000 he became a kicker for the first division club "Bayer 04 Leverkusen" for a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros. Here he scored 4 goals in 33 games in his first season. At the same time he became German runner-up in 1999. In the 2000/2001 season, Oliver Neuville achieved his personal best with 15 goals in 34 games.
In 2002 he took part in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan with the DFB team. Reaching the World Cup runner-up in the final against Brazil also marked the first sporting highlight of his career. After Oliver Neuville scored 43 Bundesliga goals for "Bayer 04 Leverkusen", he moved to "Borussia Mönchengladbach" for the 2005/2006 season. For the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Oliver Neuville was appointed to the DFB selection by national coach Jürgen Klinsmann. This made the attacker one of the national team's brightest hopes. After the German national team won the World Cup on June 30, 2006 with a 5-3 victory. After reaching the semi-finals against Argentina, the team under captain Michael Ballack lost 0-2 goals in extra time against Italy on July 4, 2006.
