Emanuel Günther (born November 13, 1954 in Worms ) is a former German soccer player .
Career
The Rheinhessen started his career in the men's division at Wormatia Worms in the Regionalliga Südwest . In 1974 the club played in the newly founded 2nd Bundesliga . Only after relegation to the 1st Southwest Amateur League in 1975, Günther became a regular at Wormatia. In 1975/76 he scored 21 goals in 32 games, Worms was sovereign champion, but could not prevail in the promotion round. In 1976/77 Günther was the top scorer in the Southwest Amateur League (32 goals in 31 games). Wormatia Worms was again champion and this time rose to the 2nd Bundesliga.
The coach of the second division Karlsruher SC , Bernd Hoss , brought Günther to the KSC for the 1977/78 season. In his first second division season he became a regular player and goalscorer for the Karlsruhe team and was top scorer with 27 goals in 38 games. For the following season he “had” to switch to Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf : KSC was under financial pressure and only received the license from the proceeds (700,000 DM) from the sale of Günther. He scored for Fortuna in his first game, but was ousted by Thomas Allofs after an injury-related break . After his recovery, he could no longer assert himself against him and his brother Klaus , so that he returned to KSC after a year.
There he experienced eight changeable years with three ascents and two descents. Günther was a reliable scorer, especially in the second division, where he was top scorer three times (1978, 1980 and 1984) - something no other second division player has achieved so far (as of mid-2015). His 37 Bundesliga goals also mark Baden's Bundesliga record to this day. Under coach Lothar Buchmann , Günther, who was strong in combat, was mainly used on the defensive from 1985/86. In total, Günther was on the pitch in 184 second division matches for KSC and scored 97 goals. In the Bundesliga he came to a total of 139 games and 41 goals for the Karlsruhe and Düsseldorf Fortuna.
In 1981 Günther fouled Hans Borg from Braunschweig so heavily in a championship game that he had to be taken to hospital with a complicated broken leg. As a result, the Karlsruhe resident - similar to Norbert Siegmann in the same year after his kick against Ewald Lienen - was in the negative headlines of the (tabloid) press for weeks.
After he was promoted for the third time with KSC in 1986/87 , but Günther did not have a good relationship with the new coach Schäfer in the promotion season, the now 32-year-old renounced another Bundesliga season. He moved to the amateur camp for the first division club 1. FC Pforzheim , where he let his active career end. He then stayed in Pforzheim and worked in the sportswear industry.
