career

The defender Arno Ernst came to the Bökelberg as an amateur from VfR Übach-Palenberg from the Mittelrhein Association. When under coach Fritz Langner there were four newcomers to the first season in the then second division of the Regionalliga West, 1963/64, with Egon Milder , Günter Netzer , Rudolf Pöggeler and Werner Weigel , the amateur Ernst made his debut on April 19, 1964 in the regional league. VfL lost the away game at TSV Marl-Hüls with 1: 2 goals on matchday 35 and Ernst acted as defender alongside Albert Jansen . In the first year under the new coach Hennes Weisweiler, 1964/65, the defensive player played 33 competitive games in the Regionalliga West, just like his defender colleague Jansen. Only the new striker Bernd Rupp played all 34 rounds of the year in which Borussia won the championship. Ernst also played in all six games in the subsequent promotion round against rivals SSV Reutlingen, Holstein Kiel and Wormatia Worms. The 1965 title win in the Regionalliga West and promotion to the Bundesliga were the two outstanding highlights of his football career.

Before the first year in the Bundesliga, 1965/66 , Berti Vogts and Heinz Wittmann came to Mönchengladbach, two defensive reinforcements. Ernst moved into the second row and was only used in the last three rounds of games in May 1966 against 1860 Munich (3: 3), Eintracht Frankfurt (1: 2) and Eintracht Braunschweig (1: 1). In his second Bundesliga year, 1966/67, only the game on May 27, 1967 in the home game against VfB Stuttgart was added. The “foals” lost on the 33rd matchday in the local Bökelberg Stadium against the Swabians with 1: 2 goals. Coach Weisweiler had played the game with the following defensive staff: Volker Danner (goalkeeper), Walter Wimmer , Heinz Wittmann, Arno Ernst, Vladimir Durković and Berti Vogts.

For the 1967/68 round, Ernst joined Fortuna '54 Geleen in the Netherlands , with whom he was relegated to the Eerste Divisie in 1969 after being renamed Fortuna Sittard in 1969 . In total, the defender played over 240 games for Fortuna, in the Eredivisie he scored one goal for the club. In 1976 he ended his active career and then became an amateur coach. Ernst lives with his wife in Geilenkirchen .
