Claus Rüdrich (* 16th June 1940 ; † 6. July 2019 ) was a German football player in the highest GDR football class league , where he 80-point games for the Marx Karl City SC / FC completed. In 1967 he was GDR soccer champion with the FCK.
Athletic career
Before Rüdrich came to what was then SC Motor Karl-Marx-Stadt at the beginning of the 1961/62 season , he had last played in the second-rate GDR league at BSG Motor in Bautzen, East Saxony . The 1.73 m tall trained locksmith was mainly used in the defense in Karl-Marx-Stadt , but at times also in the midfield. In his first season in Karl-Marx-Stadt Rüdrich rose with the SC Motor from the GDR league to the top division. It was five years before he could celebrate his next success. The 1966/67 season ended his team, meanwhile converted into the FC Karl-Marx-Stadt, surprisingly as champions. After a few failures in the first half of the season, Rüdrich completed all the point games in the second half of the season and thus made 18 appearances in the championship year, most recently as a right defender.
Rüdrich that has never been used in East German national teams, who completed only in the European Cup national champion 1967/68 two international competitive matches. In the two first round matches of the FCK against the Belgian champions RSC Anderlecht , he was called up in midfield. Since the Karl-Marx-Städter lost both games 1: 3 and 1: 2, Rüdrich's international career was over.
The 1968/69 season was also Rüdrich's last league season. He was used in defense nine times, his last league game he completed on matchday 13, on November 9, 1968, in the encounter between FC Karl-Marx-Stadt - Chemie Leipzig (1-0). With that he had completed 80 point games and scored three goals within six years. After two years in the reserve team of the FCK, Rüdrich moved in 1970 to the third-rate district division Motor Germania Karl-Marx-Stadt , which he helped to advance to the GDR league in 1973. He then ended his football career at BSG Motor Nordwest Karl-Marx-Stadt.
