Career

In the late 1960s, the DFB spotted young amateur players who were to be prepared to play for the German Olympic team at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich . So that they could gain experience, they should play in the Bundesliga , but without signing a professional contract. The selection coach was Jupp Derwall . One of these players was defender Hartwig Bleidick, who played football in Soest . In the Borough selection Westphalia he was in the quarterfinals of the countries' Cup in 1967/68 on 24 February 1968 in Ingolstadt at the 1: 2 defeat after extra time against Bayern at the side of Friedhelm Schulte , Erhard Ahmann , Dieter Mietz and Dieter Zorc been used . From 1968 to 1972 the student of German studies completed 32 international matches in the national soccer team of the amateurs , in which he scored two goals. He made his debut with the DFB amateurs on July 2, 1968 at the international match in Reykjavík against Iceland and said goodbye to the amateur national team during the Olympic tournament with the game on September 3, 1972 in Nuremberg against Mexico.

In 1968 he switched to Borussia Mönchengladbach as a contract amateur and played his way into the starting line-up of coach Hennes Weisweiler . In his first season he played all 34 Gladbach Borussia games, as well as Berti Vogts , Herbert Wimmer and Herbert L Bäumen and scored three goals as a ball-safe full-back. He made his debut on the first round of the match in a 3-1 away win at Borussia Dortmund on August 17, 1968. The "foals" took third place. 1970 and 197 1, he was German champion . At the end of the 1971 season, national coach Helmut Schön even appointed him to the German national soccer team . Bleidick was a substitute in two games. In 1972 he actually took part in the Olympic Games in Munich and was hardly used in the following season, so that he left Mönchengladbach and the Bundesliga and went back to the amateur camp. His last appearance in the Bundesliga dates from December 16, 1972, when Mönchengladbach completed the preliminary round at VfB Stuttgart with a 3-0 defeat and Bleidick completed his ninth round match. Hartwig Bleidick made 114 appearances in the Bundesliga and scored six goals.

Among his sporting highlights during his time in Mönchengladbach were the European Cup matches against FC Everton, Inter Milan, FC Aberdeen and 1. FC Köln. An outstanding experience was his participation on October 20, 1971 in the legendary rifle throwing game against Inter Milan , which Gladbach won with 7-1 goals. When Gladbach moved into the finals of the UEFA Cup against Liverpool in 1972/73 , he played six games in the first three rounds, but was then no longer used in the semi-finals and against Liverpool.

Bleidick had successfully completed his training as a soccer teacher in 1969 under course leader Weisweiler at the German Sport University in Cologne and let his career come to an end at Borussia Lippstadt (1973–1975) and his home club Soester SV (1975–1982).
