career

At the age of eight, Regh began playing football at SV Schwarz-Weiß Stotzheim. He celebrated his first national success in the ranks of the association selection of the Middle Rhine in the competition of the regional cup of 1960. The Middle Rhine won the final with 3-0 goals against Hessen and Regh acted as a defender alongside other players such as Gero Bisanz , Karl- Heinz Thielen , Karl-Heinz Ripkens , Willi Bergstein , Alfred Glenski and Willibert Kremer . His talent led Regh to the amateur national team of the DFB on June 1, 1961 . At the international match of the DFB amateur team in Oberhausen against the Netherlands, he and Hermann Michel formed the defenders in front of goalkeeper Klaus Schonz . The team around captain Heinz Höher won the game with 5: 3 goals. Regh signed a contract with 1. FC Köln for the 1961/62 season and thus switched to the top division of the West Football League . Under the new coach of FC, Zlatko Čajkovski , he made his debut on August 6, 1961 in the league. In the 5: 3 away win at SV Sodingen , he formed the attack line in the former World Cup system with Karl-Heinz Thielen, Hans Schäfer , Christian Müller and Ernst-Günter Habig . In the 78th minute he scored the fifth goal from Cologne. At the end of the round, he celebrated the championship of 1. FC Cologne and the entry into the finals for the German championship. There he came on April 21, 1962 in the 3-1 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt as a center forward to use. When the title was not defended in the final on June 29, 1963 due to the 1: 3 defeat against Borussia Dortmund , Regh again represented the injured striker Müller in the center of the storm. After two rounds with 36 missions and eleven goals and five final rounds with three goals, the league era ended in the summer of 1963.

Under Cajkovski's successor Georg Knöpfle , Regh belonged to the group of players in the 1963/64 season who, on August 24, 1963, brought the new concentration of performance in the DFB up and running on the debut day of the Bundesliga . Regh won the first German championship with 1. FC Köln in the 1963/64 season , which was played as part of the 1. Bundesliga . He completed 29 of 30 league games. With goalkeeper Fritz Ewert , together with defender colleague Fritz Pott and center runner Leo Wilden , he formed the defense of the first Bundesliga champions. For the runner-up in the second Bundesliga season, 1964/65 , he ran in 28 games. Another highlight this season were the three games in the quarter-finals of the European Cup against English champions FC Liverpool . In all three games - 0-0 in Cologne; 0-0 in Liverpool; Goalkeeper Toni Schumacher , the two defenders Pott and Regh as well as stopper Wolfgang Weber were in constant action 2: 2 in the decider in Rotterdam on March 24, 1965 with the " coin toss of Rotterdam ", which fell against Cologne . Regh made his debut on the European stage in the trade fair cup at the away game against Inter Milan on October 11, 1961 . On September 5, 1962 he experienced in the first half as a defender and after the half-time break for the injured Ewert as a goalkeeper, the 1: 8 defeat at the Scots of Dundee FC . He played a total of 21 European Cup games for 1. FC Köln and scored two goals. In his last active season at 1. FC Köln, 1967/68 , he made another 14 appearances under coach Willi Multhaup . Regh played his last Bundesliga game on May 25, 1968 in a 2-1 away win against defending champions Eintracht Braunschweig . He made a significant contribution to winning the DFB Cup in 1968 through five appearances in the games against Eintracht Frankfurt (also a replay), Eintracht Braunschweig (again with a playoff) in the semi-finals on May 3, 1968 in a 3-0 home win against Borussia Dortmund. In the final on June 9th against VfL Bochum , however, he was not used. In the following season 1968/69 he was no longer used under Multhaup's successor Hans Merkle . After 100 Bundesliga games with three goals, he said goodbye to 1. FC Köln in the summer of 1969 and joined local rivals SC Fortuna Köln in the West Regional Football League .

At Fortuna he came under patron Hans Löring - Löring played eight games in the regional league in 1969/70 - and coach Vladimir Beara in the relegation battle. At the side of the top performer Karl Lambertin , Regh completed 27 games with two goals and Fortuna held the class with 14th place. In his second season with Fortuna Cologne, 1970/71, a new coach joined his former FC colleague Ernst-Günter Habig and reinforcements in the team with Wolfgang Glock , Helmut Bergfelder , Uwe Blotenberg , Manfred Kreis , Werner Waddey and Gerd Zimmermann . Fortuna Köln reached fourth place and Regh ended his professional career in 1971 after a total of 49 appearances in the Regionalliga with six goals.

Regh then took over as player- coach for the national division TSC Euskirchen , followed by other coaching positions in the Middle Rhine amateur area. He occasionally played for lower-class clubs such as Olympia Köln, TuS Chlodwig Zülpich and SC Enzen-Dürscheven, for whom he still played as a defender in the district league A at the age of 50. As a coach, he achieved the promotion of SC Enzen-Dürscheven to the district league A in 1994.
