Career

Bruske played for three years with Eintracht Braunschweig in the Oberliga Nord , he played 54 games in which he scored 17 goals. On the 25th matchday of the 1955/56 season, March 11, 1956, the attacker who had moved up from his own amateur team came under coach Edmund Conen for his first league assignment. The Eintracht lost with 0-2 goals at SV Werder Bremen and the debutant played in the World Cup system at the time on half left next to left winger Heinz Patzig and center forward Heinz Wozniakowski . When Kurt Baluses, a new coach, took over the blue and yellow for the 1956/57 season , the dangerous all-round attacker came to 18 league appearances and scored five goals. Bruske experienced the most successful round with Braunschweig in 1957/58 when the newcomer Ernst-Otto Meyer, a goalscorer, moved from VfR Mannheim to the "Löwen". With veteran Werner Thamm (30-23), Meyer (30-22), Bruske (29-9) and Heinz Patzig (26-9), Braunschweig won the runner-up in the Oberliga Nord. On the way there, the spectacular game against the series champion Hamburger SV took place on December 26, 1957 in Bremen's Weserstadion. Bruske scored the 1-0 lead and Eintracht went into the break with a 4-0 half-time lead. In the second half of the game, Posipal and colleagues turned the game around and prevailed with a 6-4 victory. In the final round of the German soccer championship in 1958, Bruske completed a game on May 4 in Nuremberg against Karlsruher SC. In the 1: 2 defeat against the champions of the Oberliga Süd, he played on half left and scored the consolation goal for Lower Saxony. The Eintracht attack consisted of Jürgen Moll , Thamm, Meyer, Bruske and Patzig. He has played a total of 54 league games and scored 17 goals in the Oberliga Nord.

From 1958 he played for Tennis Borussia Berlin and from 1962 for Tasmania Berlin in the Berlin City League . In the 1959/60 season he finished second with 20 goals in the Berlin top scorer list, one goal behind top scorer Klaus Heuer . In the last year of the old first-class league, 1962/63 , the man from Braunschweig was second in the top scorer list with 18 hits and was runner-up with Tasmania in 1900. But now the top scorer Hans-Joachim Altendorff had scored 41 goals when Hertha BSC won the title. After the introduction of the Bundesliga for the 1963/64 season , Bruske won the championship with Tasmania 1900 in the first year of the new Berlin Regional Football League . He had scored seven goals in 14 games. The goal scorer was now at Tas center forward Heinz Fischer (24 goals). In the promotion round to the Bundesliga, Bruske was not used due to injury. As third in the Berlin Regionalliga 1964/65 Tasmania was accepted as a Berlin representative in the Bundesliga for Hertha, who had been punished by license withdrawal . At the end of the 1965/66 season , Bruske and his teammates rose from last place in the table; he had played seven games. Already on the second match day, August 21, 1965, with a 5-0 defeat at the newly promoted Borussia Mönchengladbach - goals by Jupp Heynckes (2), Günter Netzer (2), Bernd Rupp (1) - Bruske made his debut in front of 33,000 spectators as Center forward on the side of Horst Szymaniak in the Bundesliga.
