Career
Got to England as a prisoner of war , Eisträger signed a professional contract with third division club Bristol City in 1949 and was the first German professional footballer on the island after the end of the Second World War - even before the more famous Bernd Trautmann . He had previously played for amateur clubs Herne Bay FC and Trowbridge Town . For Bristol City, with whom he was promoted to the Second Division in 1955 , he played as a striker until 1958 in 246 league and cup games and scored 57 goals. In Germany, Eisträger was already known to a larger audience in 1950 when he played several friendly matches with his team there. Various German clubs, including Hamburger SV , in whose youth and reserve team he had previously played, TSV 1860 Munich and also FSV Frankfurt , were interested in his commitment, but a change did not take place.
