Jens Lehmann recalls tunnel clash at Old Trafford
Arsenal icon Jens Lehmann is reportedly set to face a psychiatric report for a suspected diagnosis of anti-social personality disorder after being involved in several unsavoury actions in recent years including attacking his neighbour’s garage with a chainsaw.
The former Arsenal goalkeeper played for the club between 2003 and 2008 – and then again in 2011 after the Gunners suffered an injury crisis between the sticks. During his time with the north Londoners, he made 200 appearances and was part of the legendary invincible squad, who went undefeated for the entirety of the 2003-2004 Premier League campaign.
He returned to the club in 2017, taking up the role of goalkeeper coach, but was released the following season after Unai Emery came in and replaced Arsene Wenger. Lehmann then spent time as the assistant manager of Ausburg and a board member for Hertha Berlin.
The 53-year-old was sacked from his role with Hertha in 2021 after sending Sky Sports pundit and former Germany international Dennis Aogo a message calling him a “quota black guy”. However, according to German newspaper BILD, his behaviour has only got worse in recent years.
Lehmann was recently summoned to face a psychiatric report after several charges were brought against him by the Munich II public prosecutor’s office including damage to property.
“A court sees the need to obtain a psychiatric report and orders it in order to check guilt,” said criminal defence attorney Dr Adam Ahmed. “These actions (of Lehmann) suggest a suspected diagnosis of anti-social personality disorder, in which the affected person has little empathy for others and often disregards rules and norms.”

Lehmann reportedly damaged the roof beam of his neighbour’s garage with a chainsaw in July of last year as according to the former two-time UEFA goalkeeper of the year, it blocked his view of Lake Starnberg in Bavaria. The report goes on to state that Lehmann had dodged multiple parking fees by speeding under a barrier at Munich Airport and allegedly insulted police after they attempted to take away his driver’s license for using his phone while driving, which he received a one-month ban for.
