Bernd Kettler (born January 13, 1941 - December 18, 1980 ) was a German soccer player . The defensive player played a total of 35 league games (1 goal) at Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga from 1964 to 1970.

Career

With Teutonia Uelzen Kettler had played in the 1960/61 season in the amateur Oberliga Ost and won the runner-up. His achievements had led him to the selection of Lower Saxony's associations. On November 27, 1960, he ran in the regional cup in Rheine in the game against Westphalia (0-2) on the side of Otto Geisert and Lothar Ulsaß . For the 1961/62 season he was signed by Hannover 96 and played in what was then the first-class soccer league north . His second season, 1962/63, in the league was also the last season of the first-class league. Kettler made his debut on August 6, 1961 in a 2-2 home draw against Bremerhaven 93 in the major league. Then he stormed on the right wing at the side of the attacking colleagues Otto Hartz , Fred Heiser , Udo Nix and Georg Kellermann . He and his teammates ended the era of the first-class league on April 29, 1963 with a 3-1 away win at the northern series champions Hamburger SV. Now, together with Winfried Mittrowski and Klaus Bohnsack, he formed the running herons of the “Reds”. From 1961 to 1963 he had played 46 games (1 goal) in the Oberliga Nord. Kettler had to go into the second division with Hannover 96, since qualifying for the Bundesliga with 13th place in 1962 and ninth place in 1963 was not successful.

In the first year of the newly introduced Regional Football League North , 1963/64 , the new coach Helmut Kronsbein brought him to the side of the newcomers Horst Podlasly , Werner Gräber and Walter Rodekamp in 28 regional league games (1 goal). The 96ers opened the league season on August 11, 1963 with a 4-0 away win at Victoria Hamburg. Kettler was used as the right wing runner and the new center forward Rodekamp had introduced himself with three goals. In this year of membership in the regional league, Kettler and his teammates finished second in the northern season behind FC St. Pauli and thus qualified for the promotion round to the Bundesliga . In the promotion round, the northern runner-up prevailed against group opponents KSV Hessen Kassel , Alemannia Aachen and FK Pirmasens and rose to the Bundesliga. But Kettler was not used in the promotion round.

For the next six years he played consistently with Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga. In the first year of the Bundesliga, 1964/65, his team finished fifth and he made his Bundesliga debut on October 24, 1964 in a 1-0 home win against FC Schalke 04. He had his personal best record in 1966/67 under coach Horst Buhtz with 15 league appearances. With the substitution for Rainer Zobel on March 7, 1970 in the away game against 1. FC Köln, his Bundesliga career ended with a goal after a total of 35 games. He also played three games each in the DFB-Pokal and Messestädte-Pokal (Espanol Barcelona, ​​AIK Stockholm, Leeds United). After the 1969/70 season, he was reamateurised.

Bernd Kettler died at the age of only 39.
