Athletic career

In October 1966, Günter Mikosch played two international matches with the GDR junior national team , in which he was used as a right winger, as a young player in the company sports association (BSG) Energie Cottbus . At the age of 20, he was called up by BSG Energie at the beginning of the 1968/69 season for the first time in the first men's team playing in the second-rate GDR league . After seven point matches, he was called up for military service in November 1968, but was given the opportunity to continue playing football in the GDR league with the Vorwärts Cottbus army sports community . Mikosch stayed there until 1974 and came to 121 missions in the 137 point games played during this time, in which he scored four goals. When Vorwärts Cottbus was determined to be relegated at the end of the 1973/74 season, the location was dissolved and the football players converted to the third-class district division ASG Vorwärts Kamenz .

After a season in the district league, Mikosch finished his service in the National People's Army and rejoined Energie Cottbus in autumn 1975. The team had just been promoted to the GDR league and Mikosch was used there as a substitute for the first time on the 12th game day. He then came on five more times from the start as a striker. The 1975/76 season ended for BSG Energie with relegation and even in the 1976/77 GDR league season , Mikosch did not succeed in making it into the regular eleven. Of the 22 league games, he played only nine games, but scored one goal. 1977/78 Mikosch was only used in the 2nd team in the district league.

For the 1978/79 season he moved within the district league to BSG Lok Cottbus . After four seasons, the BSG rose to the GDR league with Mikosch, where he was used eleven times in the 22 point games. Lok Cottbus was only able to stay in the GDR league for one season in 1982/83 ; for the almost 35-year-old Mikosch it meant the end of competitive sport.
