Günther Glomb (born August 17, 1930 , † August 13, 2015 in Bad Sauerbrunn ) was a German soccer player and soccer coach .

Player career

Günther Glomb started playing soccer at the Upper Silesian club Preußen Hindenburg . After the Second World War he came to Nuremberg as a refugee and initially played for Tuspo Nuremberg . He learned the trade of a machinist . In 1951 he began studying mechanical engineering , which he successfully completed in 1954.

The headed center forward also impressed with enormous versatility: "I played everything except goalkeeper," said Glomb of himself. In 1951, he moved to 1. FC Nürnberg in the league team . Right from the start, he was recognized as having great talent as well as being particularly useful for the team. The latter, however, also led to criticism: "Dear Glomb: altruism is a beautiful thing, but what is too much is too much even in football and is ultimately interpreted as stupidity, and you certainly do not want that." Hans wrote to him in October 1953 Hofmann in the studbook.

Over the years, Glomb managed to become more determined in front of goal and improve his hit rate. From the league team, he played at the side of Max Morlock , with whom he also lived as a sublet. From 1956 he was an indispensable part of the first team. His steady increase in performance was rewarded in 1957 with the appointment to a B international match against the Netherlands. At 3: 3 on March 27th, Glomb stormed alongside his club mate Heiner Müller . However, this game remained his only international appearance, although he had already been invited to a course of the B national team in 1952. The best game of his career is considered to be the insignificant game against 1. FC Köln in the final round of the German championship 1957/58 . At 4-3 on May 10, Glomb scored three goals alone.

When more and more young players from successful youth work moved into the first team at 1. FC Nürnberg with players like Wenauer , Strehl , Flachenecker and Wild , Glomb moved to SV Wiesbaden after a total of 306 games for the club together with storm colleague Max Schmid . What was initially a bitter loss for FCN, Strehl opened the place in the storm center. With Strehl, the club became German champions for the eighth time in 1961 .

After two years in Wiesbaden, Glomb moved to Wuppertaler SV in 1961 , with whom he was promoted to the Oberliga West at the end of the season under coach "Zapf" ​​Gebhardt , himself an old "Glubberer" . To win the runner-up, he scored ten goals in 29 league games alongside teammates like Günter Augustat , Erich Haase and Erich Ribbeck .

One last season Glomb proved his qualities in the first class, but only got four goals in 23 appearances. When the Bergisch, who had to return to the second division as the penultimate this season and were not qualified for the newly created Bundesliga anyway, surprisingly made it to the semi-finals in the DFB Cup , he was no longer in the decisive matches because the round of 16 replay against Hessen Kassel was only played on July 27, 1963, i.e. already in the new season.

Coaching career

After coaching positions at Bonner SC (1965/66) and SpVg Frechen 20 , Günther Glomb took over the coaching post of the Thai national soccer team , which he trained for the first time at the 1968 Olympic soccer tournament, through the agency of Dettmar Cramer . Glomb remained the coach of Thailand for 17 years. With the team he finished third in the 1972 Asian Cup . There were no further successes despite all the training. Glomb once complained about this industry:

“What use is all of this? When I tell my players to take it hard, they look at me in amazement. In their Buddhist belief, they answer me: 'The opponent did nothing to me; why should I attack him hard? '"

After his coaching career, Glomb returned to Europe and retired with his Austrian wife in Bad Sauerbrunn near Wiener Neustadt . For a while he still worked as a sales representative for Puma.
