Egon Jokel

Egon Jokel (born June 28, 1928 ) is a former German soccer player who played first division soccer for the BSG unit Pankow in the upper league of the GDR sports committee in 1951/52 .

Athletic career

Jokel completed only one league point game for the East Berlin company sports community (BSG) unit Pankow in their only first division season 1951/52. The soccer section was only founded in the summer of 1951 and, for political reasons, was integrated into the DS-Oberliga instead of the relegated VfB Pankow. The team consisted partly of former VfB players and mostly of newly added players. The latter also included 23-year-old Egon Jokel, who had not previously been active in higher-class football. His only point game for the Pankower he played on October 28, 1951 in the encounter of the 10th Bundesliga match day unit Pankow - Motor Gera (1: 4), in which he was called up instead of the non-operational Willi Ginzel as a half-left striker. The team of the BSG unit proved in the course of the season as not suitable for the first division and had to relegate.

In contrast to the poor championship results, unit Pankow was surprisingly successful in the GDR soccer cup. Although the semi-final game against Lok Stendal was lost 1-0, but after the disqualification of the Stendal because of the unauthorized use of a player, the Pankower got into the cup final. There they met the vice-champion SG Volkspolizei Dresden in September 1952 . The unit team had no chance and lost with the participation of the half-left striker Jokel with 0: 3.

In the second-rate GDR league Jokel belonged to the Pankower squad until 1954 and was used in eleven point games, where he scored one goal. Then he no longer appeared in higher-class football.
