Career
societies
Brülls began playing soccer in his place of birth, at the local SC Viktoria Anrath , and in 1952 joined the youth department of Borussia Mönchengladbach . There Brülls developed as an attacker to the selection player in the Niederrhein representation. At the end of the 1954/55 season he was used as a young player for the first time in a private game in the Borussia league team. In the 7-2 win on May 25, 1955 against Prussia Dellbrück , he played half right in the World Cup system at the time and scored a goal. In June 1955 he took part in a guest tour with the league team to Scandinavia, where he also distinguished himself as a goalscorer. From the 1955/56 season he was a member of the Borussia league team, which was in the Oberliga West , but was involved in a steady battle against relegation. Under coach Klaus Dondorf he made his debut on the first game day, August 27, 1955, in the away game against Duisburg SpV , in the Oberliga West. In 29 missions Brülls scored ten goals and helped the team from Bökelberg to reach eleventh place in the table and could be satisfied with their debut round in the Oberliga West. Brülls, he did not yet have a contract player status, was in Bottrop in April 1956 in the DFB amateur team, which defeated the B national team with 3-1 goals in a test match . With the association selection from the Lower Rhine, he moved into the final in the regional cup , but lost with his teammates in May with 1: 3 goals against Hessen. In the second game year, 1956/57, after twelve rounds, BMG had to show 0:24 points after the home defeat on November 11, 1956 against Wuppertaler SV and was at the bottom of the table in the Oberliga West. Brülls had been active in all of the twelve lost games and had scored two goals. In November he flew - from Hamburg on November 16 - with the national team of amateurs to the Olympic football tournament in Melbourne . In the 1: 2 defeat of the DFB amateur selection on November 24, 1956 in the round of 16 against the A national team of the Soviet Union , the Gladbacher was not used. He returned from Australia on December 14, 1956. With 39: 112 goals and 10:50 points Mönchengladbach rose in 1957 in the 2nd Oberliga West . Brülls had scored five goals in 25 games.
In the 2nd Oberliga West he shot the Borussia back in 1958 with 23 hits in 29 games, almost alone in the Oberliga. With the new trainer Fritz Pliska and teammates Albert Jansen and Gerd Schommen , the promotion was achieved together with the STV Horst-Emscher . In the league, however, the fight for relegation was immediately back on the program. Nevertheless, as an offensive player to be used in all positions in the attack, he was able to attract the attention of national coach Sepp Herberger with his 13 goals in 30 league games . On June 13, 1959, he stormed alongside center forward Erwin Stein in Luxembourg for the first time in a German selection against a Belgian selection. With his second appearance on May 20, 1959 in the junior national team in Krakow against Poland, the Gladbacher scored a goal for the 4-2 success of the DFB juniors, he had finally played his way into the circle of the national team. His actual debut in the national team took place on October 4, 1959, during the international match against Switzerland in Bern. To the 4-0 success, he contributed a hit on half right on the side of right winger Helmut Rahn and center forward Uwe Seeler . After he had completed all 30 games in the league in the 1958/59 round, he came in the following year 1959/60 only to 21 missions. Brülls broke his fibula in the sixth minute of the international match on December 20, 1959 in Hanover against Yugoslavia. On the penultimate game day in the league, on April 10, 1960, he saved Borussia from relegation again with his winning goal in the 85th minute for a 3-2 win at Hamborn 07.
From the summer of 1960, the trained weaver ran a gas station on Eickener Strasse. In the 1960/61 season, Bernd Oles took over the coaching position at Borussia and in the West German Cup, Brülls and comrades moved in after a 4-3 away win (two goals from Brülls) in the semi-finals at Borussia Dortmund - eight days before the start of the round in 1960/61 the endgame. Three days after the surprising 4-2 victory in the league at Schalke 04, the West German Cup final took place on August 24, 1960 in Düsseldorf in front of 36,000 spectators against the clear favorites 1. FC Köln . The Borussia attack with Brungs, Brülls, Kohn, Kablitz and Fendel sat down against the "billy goat" defense with Ewert, Stollenwerk, Schnellinger, Christian Breuer, Wilden and Hans Sturm with 3: 1 goals and thus moved into the semi-finals in DFB Cup 1960. That brought the Gladbachers together on September 7th - after the fourth league game in 1960/61 - in Münster with the reigning German champions Hamburger SV . With goals from Brülls and Brungs , the Oles-Elf prevailed with 2-0 goals and stood in the DFB Cup final on October 5, 1960 in Düsseldorf against the South German champions of 1960, the Karlsruher SC . In the 60th minute, the outstanding Gladbach player, half-striker Brülls, decided the cup final with his goal to make it 3-2. The duel in midfield against his national team colleague Horst Szymaniak was of decisive importance , Brülls emerged as the clear winner.
With the 5-1 win on April 14, 1962 in the catch-up game against Viktoria Köln - Brülls scored 5-1 in the 71st minute - Albert Brülls said goodbye to Borussia Mönchengladbach after 160 league appearances with 38 goals and flew to the finals with the national team the World Cup to Chile from May 30th to June 17th and signed a professional contract with the Italian Serie A promoted FC Modena in July 1962 for a transfer fee of 250,000 marks from the 1962/63 season .
With the "yellow and blue" in the provincial town of the Emilia-Romagna region from Stadio Alberto Braglia , he finished eleventh in Serie A after the 1962 World Cup in Chile . He scored four goals in his first year in Modena. When Helmut Haller won the championship with FC Bologna in 1963/64 , Brülls relegated to Serie B with Modena . There he came in 1965 with his club in seventh place (20-2) and signed a new contract for the transfer of 384,000 marks with the champion and promoted Brescia Calcio for the 1965/66 season . With the promoted from Lombardy, he came in ninth place in the 1966 world championship year and scored six goals for Brescia. When Brescia was relegated from Serie A in 1968 , the 31-year-old accepted an offer from Young Boys Bern and after a total of 107 games in Serie A, moved to Switzerland with 12 goals. The "black-yellow" from the Wankdorf Stadium, he finished in 1969 the fourth and in 1970 to fifth place in the National League A . For Bern, the ex-national player completed 49 league games in the two rounds and scored one goal.

Albert Brülls was employed in the culture and sports department of the Neuss district until his retirement.
His long-time teammate at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Gerd Schommen , describes his value for the club and his importance for the team with the words:
“He was a gifted footballer. Albert was irreplaceable for us, as well as a warm and honest comrade who put his skills at the service of the team. He deserved a better team. "
National team
His first international match for a selection of the DFB played Brülls on September 23, 1958 in Kiel in the goalless draw of the U-23 national team against the selection of Denmark. In the 4-2 win on May 20, 1959 in Krakow against the national team of Poland, he scored his only goal for this national team - it was also his last appearance in this age group. After his debut in the senior national team on October 4, 1959 in Bern against Switzerland, the attacker from Mönchengladbach was part of the regular line-up of national coach Sepp Herberger up to and including the 1962 World Cup in Chile. From his debut on October 4, 1959 to the 0-1 defeat on June 10, 1962 in Santiago de Chile in the quarter-final against Yugoslavia, the attacker from Mönchengladbach played all 22 international matches of the DFB during this period. He was also in the winning DFB teams in the 1960 and 1961 World Cup qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Greece. At the World Cup tournament in Chile, he played all four games of the German team against Italy, Switzerland, Chile and Yugoslavia. In the 0-1 quarter-final defeat on June 10, 1962 against Yugoslavia, Brülls completed his 22nd international match. Due to his move to Italy, he was no longer included in the DFB team in the next few years. On March 23, 1966, Herberger's successor Helmut Schön carried out his “return campaign” at the international match against the Netherlands in Rotterdam. In the 4-2 win, Brülls stormed the right wing.
He was nominated for the 1966 World Cup in England and stormed there in the two group matches against Switzerland and Argentina on the right wing of the eventual runner-up, where he injured himself in the encounter against Argentina and failed for the following games.
