career

Youth national player, 1963 to 1966

The VfB Lützel youth player with outstanding ball technique, a child of the occupation from Karlsruhe, played for the first time on May 24, 1963 in a DFB selection team. The national school team won the traditional international student game against England with 3-1 goals in Heilbronn. The technician and ball distributor from Koblenz formed the right wing of the victorious German team on half right with right winger Horst Köppel . In the team of DFB coach Karl-Heinz Heddergott "everything revolved around the half-striker from Koblenz-Lützel". In goal, Norbert Nigbur drew attention to his great talent. The development of football continued continuously. In the German youth national team in 1965 and 1966 he was one of the great young hopes. He participated in the side of the player Berti Vogts , Nigbur, Egon Köhnen , Koeppel, Walter Bechtold , Ludwig Bründl , Alfred Kohlhäufl , Karl-Heinz Kamp and Heiner Schmieh at UEFA youth tournament in April 1965 in Germany in part. The junior selection , supervised by DFB coach Dettmar Cramer , was unbeaten - the DFB juniors failed in the quarter-finals on April 21 in Hagen in front of 32,000 spectators (record number in the Ischeland Stadium) after a goalless draw by tossing a coin against Czechoslovakia - fifth place. The talent from Koblenz had taken part in the DFB's first screening course for the UEFA tournament in July 1964 at the Grünberg sports school; with the regional selection of the Southwest German Football Association at the tournament for the youth cup and as further preparation from December 1964 on the monthly practice games against senior teams such as FSV Frankfurt (contract player reserve), Opel Rüsselsheim, SV Wiesbaden and the amateur national team. When they failed by tossing a coin against Czechoslovakia, Scheu and colleagues were forced to play undernumbered from the 15th minute by the injury-related elimination of the striker and striker Bechtold from Eintracht Frankfurt. In the 2-1 win two days later in the consolation round against the Netherlands, Scheu met the later Oranje international players Piet Schrijvers , Barry Hulshoff , Wim Jansen and Johan Cruyff . The KNV talents were trained by Georg Keßler . After the two group matches against Luxembourg (11: 0) and Greece (4: 1), Scheu was reported in the sports magazine as a “brilliant technician and director as well as a clever instigator of the attacks”.

“David Scheu, a child of the occupation from Koblenz, who was most praised in the DFB youth camp for years, only shone as an actor. At every demonstration he had to demonstrate how nicely he could "stroke the ball", according to the youth coach at the time, Dettmar Cramer , how "he could jump high with arms put on properly". Shy victim to play around with was a little wooden boy named Berti Vogts , who was laughed at every time. But in the Bundesliga, Scheu failed in his first season. Vogts became world champion. "

In his second UEFA tournament in 1966, the 3-1 defeat in the group game against Spain prevented progress. In Yugoslavia, the talents Heinz Flohe and Karl-Heinz Handschuh were players in the coveted talent from VfB Lützel. Scheu had worn the DFB jersey in 13 youth international matches. At the end of the round in 1965/66 he made his debut with his colleagues from the youth national team, Köppel and Nigbur, on June 19, 1966 in the amateur national team . The DFB amateurs achieved a 1-1 draw against Italy in Ancona with the half-strikers Scheu and captain Heinz-Herbert Kreh .

The then Bundesliga club Karlsruher SC won the race for the midfield talent, Scheu signed a contract with the team from the Wildpark Stadium for the 1966/67 round . He played his first round in Baden in amateur status and was not part of the KSC licensed team. On October 2 and November 16, 1966, however, he played his second and third international game for the amateur national team. They were encounters within the framework of the UEFA Amateur Cup against Yugoslavia and Turkey.

Bundesliga and regional league, 1967 to 1974

Karlsruher SC went into the Bundesliga season 1967/68 with coach Paul Frantz . In the summer of 1967, Gérard Hausser , Jürgen Rynio , Klaus Slatina and Lutz Streitenbürger came to the Baden capital as newcomers . From their own amateur team, attackers Heinz Schrodt and David Scheu completed the licensed squad for the 13th round in 1966/67. It was only after the coach change from Frantz to Georg Gawliczek on October 25, 1967 that the hour struck for the ex-youth national player. On November 18, Scheu made his debut in the 2-0 defeat at FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. He came on in the 40th minute for Willi Dürrschnabel . KSC was then with 8:20 points in 16th place in the table, tied with Borussia Neunkirchen and one point ahead of the bottom Schalke 04. Until the end of the round, on May 25, 1968 with a 1-1 draw at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Scheu experienced only two double point wins with the team from Baden. The third coach, former national player Berni Termath , had replaced the former Herberger assistant Gawliczek on February 10, 1968, and could not prevent the relegation of the Karlsruher SC. Scheu had played 20 Bundesliga games.

In the Football Regionalliga Süd 1968/69 coach Kurt Baluses tried to build a new KSC team. Scheu belonged to the Wildpark team with 20 appearances and two goals, which won the championship just ahead of the same points Freiburg FC (both 43:25 each) and was able to move into the Bundesliga promotion round. In the promotion round, however, it was only enough to finish third behind the promoted Rot-Weiss Essen and VfL Osnabrück. Scheu had played all eight group games for the failed Karlsruher SC.

But that was already the last noteworthy appearance of the great talent from the youth national team in 1965 and 1966. While Berti Vogts had an unprecedented career at Borussia Mönchengladbach (419-33) and in the national team (96-1), Horst Köppel and Norbert Nigbur also made several national team appearances and 456 and 308 Bundesliga appearances, respectively, the other former youth team-mates Karl- Heinz Kamp (361-26), Egon Köhnen (272-12), Ludwig Bründl (150-42) and Walter Bechtold (131-46) were able to establish themselves in the Bundesliga, Scheu could not confirm his talent from the youth in the senior division. Overall, he was led from 1968 to 1972 at KSC in the Regionalliga Süd with 47 appearances and three goals.

The last two rounds of the old regional league second division, 1972 to 1974, the man from Koblenz spent at ASV Landau in the football regional league southwest . Under coach Heinz Ruppenstein , ex-KSC league player, former KSC teammates Horst Wild , Werner Hösl and Hans Ripp added 34 league games with four goals in the Palatinate. After that, his athletic path led him to the amateur camp at FV Linkenheim in the Karlsruhe soccer district.
