Bodo Mattern (born February 3, 1958 in Bockenheim an der Weinstrasse ) is a former German professional footballer .

origin

Bodo Mattern was born in 1958 in the Palatinate wine-growing village of Bockenheim an der Weinstrasse. His father Erich Mattern was local mayor at the time , a member of the SPD and an active footballer in Bockenheim until he was 40.

Football career

For the young Bodo Mattern, football was initially just an evening game, as he was doing an office job in a wire goods factory in Neuleiningen during the day . The striker first played for his hometown club, the gymnastics and sports club Bockenheim, and moved to Wormatia Worms for the first time when he was 14 . After four years he returned to TuS Bockenheim and in 1978 moved to the fourth division BSC Oppau (then the district league of the Vorderpfalz) in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . There he scored 27 goals in the first 17 games and after only one season he moved again to Wormatia Worms, who have now been promoted to the 2nd League South .

Bodo Mattern became a professional footballer and immediately had a regular position in the attack, which he confirmed with a high goal rate. In the two seasons that he played for Worms, he scored 42 goals in 71 games and was the club's best scorer. These good performances gave him a stepping stone into the first class and in 1981 Mattern was a Bundesliga player when he switched to the Lilien from SV Darmstadt 98 . He stormed there alongside Peter Cestonaro and Helmut Vorreiter , but despite his 13 goals in 24 appearances, the Darmstadt team was relegated to the second division as the penultimate. There he again achieved a good number of goals with 22 goals in 37 games and with his transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt Bodo Mattern returned to the Bundesliga in 1983.

In the Frankfurt professional squad, however, he could not prevail against the storm colleagues Ronald Borchers , Jan Svensson , Uwe Müller , Cezary Tobollik and Harald Krämer , which is why he only made a modest twelve appearances (with around 850 minutes of play) and one goal in 1½ seasons. During the winter break of 1983/1984, Mattern moved to the then second division club Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin and played there in the second half of the season (8 goals in 19 games). The following season was very successful for Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin, because after the club was still in the middle of the table in the middle of the season, they were able to win the runner-up and promotion to the Bundesliga behind champions FC 08 Homburg . Bodo Mattern played a big part in this success with his 15 goals in 36 games and was the second top scorer in Berlin after Leo Bunk (26 goals). But like a few seasons before with Darmstadt, Bodo Mattern should also end this season with relegation as a player in a new Bundesliga club. Mattern, who only played the role of substitute player next to the later national player Karlheinz Riedle and Jörg Gaedke in the storm , played three times over the full distance in 21 missions and scored a total of five goals.

In 1987 he returned to the second division club SV Darmstadt 98, where he contributed two goals in two seasons in 23 appearances as a substitute striker. Mattern played his last professional game on June 11, 1989, when he was substituted on in the 68th minute of the game against 1. FSV Mainz 05 (final score 7-0 for Darmstadt). Bodo Mattern then played one more season with the Hessian amateur top division club FSV Frankfurt in 1989/90 and then ended his playing career.

After the end of his active career, he worked, among other things, as a player coach or trainer at Rot-Weiß Darmstadt , where he still plays in the old men’s team (over 45). In January 2008, Mattern started coaching at RSV Germania 03 Pfungstadt and led the team to promotion from the Darmstadt West district league to the Darmstadt group league, where he was able to establish the team in the upper half of the table. On December 9, 2008, after the first half of the season, he surprisingly announced his resignation for professional, health and private reasons, as he wanted to step down in sporting terms in the future. During the 2014/15 season, he took over the interim coaching position for two games at Rot-Weiß Darmstadt until Kelvin King took over the main responsibility for the team.
