Alban Wüst (born July 31, 1947 - † March 7, 2000 ) was a German football player . The striker won the championship in the Regionalliga Südwest with SV Alsenborn in 1969 and played 32 league games at FC Schalke 04 from 1969 to 1971 in the Bundesliga , in which he scored four goals.

Career

SV Alsenborn

Alban Wüst drew attention to himself at VfB Iggelheim in the 2nd Amateur League Southwest Front Palatinate. After the loss of striker Jürgen Schieck to the Stuttgarter Kickers for the 1968/69 season, the Southwest champion of 1968, SV Alsenborn , tried to keep the level in the squad with a number of talented amateur commitments. In addition to the fast striker Wüst, Werner Adler (ASV Maxdorf), Manfred Lenz (FV Rockenhausen), Bernhard Oberle (TSG Eisenberg), Franz Schwarzwälder (1. FC Hambach), Erwin Schwehm (SV Wiesentalerhof), Matthias Volk (FC Neureut) and Werner Fuchs from the FCK amateurs to Alsenborn in the second-class Regionalliga Südwest . Under coach Otto Render , the fast and agile striker made his debut on September 9, 1968 in a 5-2 home win against SV Saar 05 Saarbrücken in the Regionalliga Südwest. In his third league use, on October 14, 1968, in a 3-0 home win against FV Speyer, he scored two goals. On the final day of the round, on May 10, 1969, he completed his 21st league appearance and scored ten goals for Alsenborn. Equal on points with TuS Neuendorf , the SVA defended its championship title with a goal difference of 69:25 compared to 56:23 and thus made it into the promotion round to the Bundesliga for the second time in a row.

Two tragic events overshadowed Alsenborn's sporting success: the traffic accident at the end of October 1968 involving the young attacker Josef Sattmann , which abruptly ended his sporting career, and the accidental death of trainer Render in April 1969.

In the promotion round, the young striker played all eight group games against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen , Freiburg FC , Hertha Zehlendorf and VfB Lübeck , in which he scored two goals. With one point behind Alsenborn just missed the rise. The 3-0 away defeat on the final day, June 22, 1969, in Berlin against Zehlendorf without captain and playmaker Lorenz Horr ruined the promotion. FC Schalke 04 got rid of the attacker from his contract in Alsenborn after just one year, and Wüst still managed to get promoted to the Bundesliga.

FC Schalke 04

For the round 1969/70 Wüst joined the Bundesliga club FC Schalke 04 . On his debut, on the first day of the 1969/70 season at the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach , Wüst made his first goal when he made the 2-0 final score. The Schalke team attacked with Reinhard Libuda , the newcomer from Alsenborn and Hans Pirkner . He was part of the regular formation at the start of the round. That is why he was also used in the first round of the European Cup Winners' Cup against Shamrock Rovers . On October 1, 1969, the second leg took place in Gelsenkirchen; Already in the 4th minute Wüst suffered a complicated broken tibia and fibula, which forced him to take a break until March 1970. Only in terms of the number of stakes was Wüst under coach Rudi Gutendorf behind Libuda, Pirkner and Manfred Pohlschmidt supplementary player in the storm. In the away game won 3-1 on March 4, 1970 at Dinamo Zagreb , he celebrated his comeback in the European Cup and in the Bundesliga on March 7, with a 2-1 success at Alemannia Aachen . In the two semi-finals in the European Cup against the English cup winners Manchester City in April 1970, he was substituted in in the second half. Against the team of manager Joe Mercer around the top performers Colin Bell , Franny Lee and Mike Summerbee , the "Royal Blues" had no chance especially in the game on Maine Road (1: 5). Manchester moved into the final and won the Cup. The DFB Cup game on April 8, 1970 for Wüst was also emotional; it took him with Schalke to SV Alsenborn, where the Bundesliga team prevailed 5-1 and he was in action as a center forward. Overall, despite his five-month injury break, he made 14 appearances in his first Bundesliga season and scored three goals.

In his second Schalke season, 1970/71, the "Knappen" strengthened their attack with center forward Klaus Fischer . On September 7, coach Gutendorf was deposed and replaced from September 8 by Slobodan Čendić . Wüst had to struggle with recurring pain at the break point and had to be content with the substitute and substitute role behind Fischer, Libuda and Pirkner with 18 appearances (1 goal). On February 20, 1971 he was in the Schalke attack in the 4-0 success in the DFB Cup against VfR Heilbronn and scored a goal.

VfR Heilbronn

After two years at FC Schalke 04, Wüst moved to the 1971/72 round at VfR Heilbronn in the second-rate Regionalliga Süd . The restart was excellent: Heilbronn started the round with a 2-1 away win on August 15, 1971 at 1. FC Nürnberg with center forward Wüst. From November 1971 at the latest, however, his old effects of injury made themselves felt again and he was mostly only able to play as a substitute. The last time he was able to distinguish himself as a goalscorer for Heilbronn on April 16, 1972: He scored two goals in a 3-2 away win at SpVgg Fürth. In total, when he reached eighth place, he made 28 appearances and scored three goals.

In 1973 he was declared a sports disabled person.
