Georg "Schorschl" Schneider (born April 22, 1892 , † January 5, 1961 ) was a German football player . He was active for FC Bayern Munich and the senior national team .

career

He acquired his first football knowledge on the large meadow behind the former Bayernplatz on Clemensstrasse, where he played for FC Vulkan, a strong meadow club whose team consisted of a lot of talented middle school students. The Vulkan people behaved very negatively towards the Bavarians and so the majority of them first migrated to FC Union, the forerunner of the later FC Teutonia , from where he then moved to Bayern with a few other of his fellow sportsmen.

On August 15, 1910, he made his debut as a center forward in the Bayern team in a 2-1 win for the Bavarian Championship 1910/11 , which Bayern were finally able to win confidently. In the fight for the South German championship, FC Bayern clearly failed because of the Karlsruhe FV trained by the famous William Townley . During the First World War , where he was also taken prisoner, Schneider, who studied engineering where, could not take part in gaming operations. After the war, he won the South Bavarian Championship 1919/20 with Bayern , which qualified for the group games for the South German Championship, where Freiburg FC was too strong for Bayern. He also won the South Bavarian Championship in 1922/23 . After that, Bayern lost the games for the Bavarian championship with 1: 2 and 0: 5 against SpVgg Fürth , one of the big teams of those years. Between 1921 and 1922 Schneider was the player-coach of FC Bayern Munich.

Schneider played for Bayern in a total of 249 games until 1925, of which 75 as a striker, 66 as a center runner and 108 as a defender. As such, he also gained international reputation. So he stood in the German team against Switzerland and Hungary in 1920, and again against Hungary in 1921. He represented southern Germany 12 times, for example in 1913 against western and central Germany, in 1919 against northern Germany, against Austria and against central Germany, in 1920 against Austria twice, against central and northern Germany, in 1921 against Belgium and against Austria.

For his hometown Munich he competed twice with the Austrian capital Vienna . The Munich team had little to counter the high art of Danubian football in those years and lost 3-1 at the Hohe Warte in Vienna in 1913 and 4-0 in Munich in front of 2000 spectators in 1914.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of FC Bayern Munich, Schneider and Max Fürst were made the club's honorary captain. "He is undoubtedly the most successful and popular of all Bayern players so far. In the history of Bayern sports people, he is undisputedly the first," was the opinion of him at the time.
