Frank Richter (born January 5, 1952 in Kamenz ) is a former German football player. In the top division of GDR football , the Oberliga , he played for SG Dynamo Dresden and BSG Stahl Riesa . The striker was used in seven games of the GDR national team in the early 1970s .

Athletic career

League and cup game operations

Frank Richter's football career began with the local BSG unit Kamenz , which delegated him to SG Dynamo Dresden in 1966. There he made a name for himself nationwide as a young talent and was appointed to the DFV selection team due to his achievements .

In September 1969, at the age of 17, the 1.73-meter-tall attacking player played his first two games in the first team of Dynamo Dresden, which had been promoted to the league the previous year without Richter's participation. On the 8th matchday of the 1969/70 season , Richter made his debut in the 3-0 away defeat at BSG Sachsenring Zwickau , in which he was substituted on for Dieter Riedel after 33 minutes , in the East German elite class. In his other season, the 2-1 at home against BSG Chemie Leipzig just three days later, he scored his first league goal with the decisive 2-0.

After this resurgence, the era of success for the Dresdeners began, who won five championships and the GDR soccer cup twice by 1978 . In his first championship year 1970/71 Richter was used in 23 of the 26 point games, but had only scored two goals. The season ended with the final of the GDR Cup, in which Dynamo Dresden and Berlin's FC Dynamo faced each other. Here too, the Dresden team won the title 2-1, but Richter was not on the squad. He was also absent from the 1977 Cup victory, whereas he was involved in the other three Dresden finals up to 1981, which could not be made victorious. In the 1975 final, which was lost to BSG Sachsenring Zwickau on penalties, he was one of the Dynamo goalscorers.

This tragedy continued throughout his career. Again and again handicapped by injuries, he could be used less and less in the following years. In the championship year 1972/73 still there in 19 league games, he was involved in his third championship in 1975/76 only with nine missions. He won his fourth championship title with just five point games, in his last championship in 1977/78 he was able to play another ten games.

In the 1980/81 season, Richter was only used in the Hinserie in the top division of Dynamo Dresden. At the end of 1980 he had played 127 of 299 possible point games within twelve years and scored 20 goals. In the European Cup , the striker played in 27 games (three hits), seven of which were in the European Cup .

At the age of 29 he had to realize that his state of health no longer met the high standards of the now six-time soccer champions Dynamo Dresden. He moved in January 1981 to small local rivals Stahl Riesa, for whom he played six league games until the end of the season, but then had to experience relegation to the second-rate GDR league with the team. In reaching the promotion round of the steel team in 1981/82 , which could not be successfully designed by Riesa, he could no longer help on the pitch. In the summer of 1982 Frank Richter finally ended his career as a football player.

Selection bets

He was in the GDR junior national team 25 times and scored five goals. With the East German U-18s, he won the 1970 UEFA youth tournament . In 1969, when the GDR hosted, he was not called up for this unofficial U-18 European Championship. In the youth competitions of friendship he took 3rd place with the junior selection in Hungary in 1968 and only 10th in North Korea in 1969 .

1,974 judges with was junior selection of DFV second in the U-23 European Championship . In total, the Dresden striker completed 21 games in the U-23s in the 1970s without scoring.

In the year of his first championship with Dynamo Dresden, he was used for the first time in the senior national team on February 2, 1971. During the South American tour, he came on the field in the game against Chile (1-0) in the 83rd minute for center forward Peter Ducke . A week later he came into play against Uruguay (3-0) in the 43rd minute for the injured left winger Eberhard Vogel and scored his only international goal. In the third tour game, again against Uruguay (1-1), Richter was in the starting line-up on the left wing. By 1973 he came to another four A-internationals, a total of seven missions.

Also in 1971, the dynamo attacker made his debut in the jersey of the GDR Olympic team . After two short appearances in May against Italy at the beginning of the qualification for the Olympic football tournament in Munich , Richter was no longer placed in this team, at that time congruent with the senior national team.
