Born in
Wickede,
North Rhine-Westphalia, Kree made his
first division debuts with
VfL Bochum in
1983–84 – seven matches, one goal – netting an impressive 12 goals in
his sixth season (only three
penalty kicks), while only missing six matches in his last four seasons combined. After a further five seasons with
Bayer 04 Leverkusen, playing in all 38 league matches with nine goals in
the first campaign with teams from the re-unified Germany, Kree moved to
Borussia Dortmund, where he won back-to-back league championships, the
1997 Champions League and the
Intercontinental Cup, also in that year. During the club's
Champions League victorious campaign, he played in eight matches (six complete, including
the final). Kree retired from football in 1998, aged 33. ==Career statistics==
