Andreas Thom (born 7 September 1965 in Rüdersdorf, East Germany) is a former German football player who played as a forward for Dynamo Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen, Celtic and Hertha Berlin. He played 51 times for East Germany throughout the 1980s and played 10 times for the unified German national team in the early 1990s. He is now retired from playing and works as a youth coach at Hertha BSC.
Thom began his professional career with Dynamo Berlin. In his time there, he won the GDR Premier League in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988, and the GDR Cup in 1988 and 1989, scoring the only goal of the game in the latter final. In 1988 Thom was the top scorer in East Germany and that same year also voted the East German Footballer of the Year.
On 16 December 1989, Thom became the first East German to sign for a Bundesliga club when he joined West German side Bayer Leverkusen for a transfer fee of 2.5 million Deutsche Mark (approx £900,000). The transfer also placed Thom amongst the highest earners in the Bundesliga and made him the highest paid player at Bayer Leverkusen. Thom made his historic debut for his new club on 17 February 1990, and scored the opening goal in a 3-1 win over FC Homburg. Thom spent over 5 years at Bayer Leverkusen, and picked up a winner's medal on 12 June 1993 win they defeated Hertha BSC II 1-0 in the final of the German Cup.
