Egon Milder (born April 22, 1942 , † October 18, 1975 in Lucerne ) was a German football player and coach. From 1965 to 1969 he came as an active player from Borussia Mönchengladbach to 123 appearances in the Bundesliga and scored eleven goals.

career

Egon Milder came through the training station SuS Kaiserau - there he played for the Westphalia team as well as in the youth team of West Germany - for the 1962/63 round at VfL Bochum . The team from Castroper Straße played in the last year of the old first-class league system in the 2nd division west. Milder completed 23 league games under coach Hermann Lindemann at the side of teammates Werner Jablonski and Walter Zastrau and scored three goals. Bochum took 14th place and was therefore not nominated for the 1963/64 round for the new second division of the West Regional Football League . With his new contract in Mönchengladbach for the 1963/64 round, he moved to the Lower Rhine and played with the Bökelberg-Elf in the regional league.

The excellent technician, who could assert himself well on the ball and use his teammates, played his first game in the new league on September 8, 1963 under coach Fritz Langner . It was the sixth match day and Borussia lost 2-1 goals at Fortuna Düsseldorf. The starting result with 5:11 points from the first eight games prevented intervention in the fight for the top positions. At the side of the teammates Karl-Heinz Mülhausen , Günter Netzer , Heinz Lowin and Heinz Crawatzo , the newcomer from Bochum made 29 league appearances (1 goal) and Mönchengladbach took eighth place. When coach Hennes Weisweiler replaced his predecessor Fritz Langner in 1964/65 - he preferred FC Schalke 04 to Borussia in the Bundesliga - Weisweiler Milder took over the libero position because he relied on Günter Netzer as a playmaker. When the "foal team" surprisingly won the title in 1965 , Milder had played 31 league games with seven goals for the champions. Gladbach started the championship round on August 9, 1964 with a 4-2 home win over Bayer Leverkusen. Weisweiler formed the VfL defense with goalkeeper Manfred Orzessek ; Albert Jansen and Arno Ernst appeared as defenders ; Milder, Walter Wimmer and Heinz Lowin played in the runner row . On January 31, 1965, Milder distinguished himself as a three-time goal scorer in a 7-1 win against STV Horst-Emscher. He represented the injured playmaker Netzer on half left. In the promotion round he completed five games against rivals SSV Reutlingen, Holstein Kiel and Wormatia Worms and scored one goal for promotion to the Bundesliga. He decided the second game on June 5th with a header in the 90th minute against Holstein Kiel , which the "foals" were able to decide with 1-0 goals. In the Regionalliga West he was listed with 60 games and eight goals from 1963 to 1965.

On the fourth day of the 1965/66 round , Milder made his debut in the Bundesliga. On September 4, 1965 it was enough for Gladbach to a 0-0 draw at FC Schalke 04. In four rounds of the Bundesliga, Egon Milder was part of the regular line-up of Gladbach from 1965 to 1969 and ranked in the rounds of 1967/68 and 1968/69 each with Borussia in third place. In the three rounds 1966/67 to 1968/69 he was missing only one Bundesliga match day. Milder was also a member of the BMG teams, which had particularly high-scoring victories against FC Schalke 04 (11: 0), 1. FC Kaiserslautern (8: 2) and Borussia Neunkirchen (10: 0) in the rounds of 1966/67 (Schalke 04) and 1967/68 (Kaiserslautern, Neunkirchen) set special brands in the Bundesliga. His last Bundesliga appearance was spectacular: On the 34th matchday of the 1968/69 round, Mönchengladbach took on Werder Bremen and a goal festival developed, which the hosts won with three goals from ex-Borussian Bernd Rupp 6-5 . Milder scored the 5: 6 goal in the 82nd minute with a converted penalty. In the summer of 1969 - Weisweiler reinforced his team's defensive skills with Ludwig Müller and Klaus-Dieter Sieloff - he moved to Switzerland for FC Luzern . In his first year in Lucerne he and his new team reached the runner-up in the National League B and thus promotion to the NLA. Later he was a player-coach at SC Kriens . He died in October 1975 of a brain tumor in the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital .

On February 27, 1965 , Borussia, then still playing in the second division , won a game against the Austrian national team 3-2. It was Borussia's first game against a national team and was decided by a goal from Egon Milder. On August 13, 1968, as the Borussia captain, he led his team onto the pitch to a 4-1 win against Japan .
