Ernst Fick (soccer player)

Ernst Fick (born November 5, 1925 ) was a football player in Wismar . There he played for the ZSG Anker / BSG Motor Wismar in the Oberliga , the highest soccer division of the East German sports committee .

Ernst and Klaus Fick , who played football in Wismar, were five years older than Ernst . When SG Wismar Süd won the Mecklenburg soccer championship in 1949 , Ernst Fick was part of the team. In the crucial game of the Mecklenburg finals at SG Schwerin, which ended 1-0 for Wismar, he was a center forward on the field. As a national champion, SG Süd took part in the east zone championship for the second time since 1948, and retired after the first game after the first game with a 10:10 defeat against eventual runner-up Fortuna Erfurt.

With the state championship, SG Süd had also qualified for the first season of the newly founded league of the East German Sports Committee in 1949/50. Under the new name ZSG Anker, the Wismar team was only concerned with staying up in the league from the start. Already on the 5th matchday there was a depressing 0:11 defeat at SG Dresden-Friedrichstadt. At the end of the season, the ZSG had to play a decisive game against the tied SG Altenburg Nord for the top division. Without their regular center forward Ernst Fick, the Wismar team lost 3-2 in front of 12,000 spectators in Magdeburg and were relegated to the second-rate GDR league . In the previous 26 point games, Fick was used 20 times, with nine goals second-best goalscorer behind Heinz Minuth (10).

In the GDR league season 1950/51 Ernst Fick was only used as a substitute for 56 minutes in the decider for the league championship against Wismut Aue. This game was lost with 0: 3, but previously Anker Wismar had won the decider for the league promotion against the tied SG Volkspolizei Potsdam with 2: 1. The new league season 1951/52 was Ficks last season with the Wismar team, which was now called BSG Motor. Between the 6th and the 25th of 36 match days played, he played nine more matches and scored his last league goal on January 13, 1952 against Lok Stendal. It was also his only goal of the season. On February 10, 1952, he completed his last league game at the encounter between Stahl Altenburg and Motor Wismar (2-1). He had been used as a left winger and played together with his brother Klaus, who had since replaced him as a regular player.

Ernst Fick had made a total of 39 league games and the promotion game of 1951 in his three national seasons, and he had scored ten goals.
