Gerd Klier (born January 16, 1944 in Oestrich , Rheingau ; † March 21, 2011 ) was a German football player . The striker was the top scorer four times in the then second-rate regional league , making him the record holder.

Career

Gerd Klier started playing football at the local FC Oestrich in 1950. In 1963, when he was 19 years old, he moved to the state capital Wiesbaden for FV Biebrich 02 . He played two seasons with Jürgen Grabowski at the Hessian amateur league and then moved to Freiburg's FC in the then second-class Regionalliga Süd . In the Möslestadion he shot the FFC to seventh place together with Klaus-Peter Jendrosch , Helmut Siebert and Karl-Heinz Bente in 1966/67. He also stayed with this club, at that time still the most successful football club in Freiburg , where he scored 27 goals in 61 league games and then went to Fortuna Düsseldorf . After a year in the Regionalliga West - the Fortuna started with coach Ernst Melchior and replaced him on December 19, 1967 by Bernd Oles and occupied with ex-national goalkeeper Wolfgang Fahrian and field players Waldemar Gerhardt , Werner Lungwitz , Werner Biskup and Egon Köhnen in sixth place - Klier was sorted out and there was a change back to Baden . The FC 08 Villingen was his next stop here. Gerd Klier now made his final breakthrough and was the top scorer in the Regionalliga Süd in 1968/69 and 1969/70 . Under the young coach Rudolf Faßnacht and at the side of the veteran Klaus Bockisch , he prevailed in the goal scorers list in 1969 before Christian Müller and Wolfgang Breuer and in 1970 before Gerhard Kraft and Horst Wild .

Through these successes, the Bundesliga became aware of him and so after 70 games and 44 league goals in two years he signed a contract for Villingen in the top German division with Hamburger SV . In his first and only Bundesliga season, however, he only scored four goals and left HSV for 1. FSV Mainz 05 . He had his most successful time with the Rheinhessen: In 1973 he became champion in the Regionalliga Südwest with FSV and was top scorer. The promotion to the Bundesliga was missed in the promotion round against the competitors Fortuna Cologne (promoted), St. Pauli, Karlsruher SC and Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin. In 1974 he was again the top scorer in the league, Mainz won the Southwest Cup and qualified with a fifth place for the newly created 2nd Bundesliga . In two years of the second division, Klier scored 11 and 16 goals under the coaches Uwe Klimaschefski , Gerd Menne and Horst Hülß and his club was mostly in the middle of the table. The 1975/76 season ended with a 12th place, but the club voluntarily gave up the license for financial reasons. So you entered in the 1976/77 season in the third-rate amateur league southwest. Despite 19 goals in 22 games by Klier, only a sixth place in the table jumped out in the end, whereupon the striker to FVgg. Kastel 06 changed and let his career end there in the fourth class regional league.

Klier last lived in Oestrich-Winkel and died in March 2011 at the age of 67 after an illness.
