career

Amateur, until 1964

From the youth department of the Homberger Spielverein , the striker Hans-Jürgen Jansen played his way up to the first team of the club active in the association league Niederrhein. His talent as a winger earned him an invitation from the DFB for the international match of the German national soccer team of amateurs on May 31, 1962 in Merlebach against France. In the 3: 3 draw he formed the right wing together with the Haßfurt half-right Heinz-Herbert Kreh . Jansen celebrated the first championship with the game club in the 1962/63 season in front of VfB Lohberg . The following year, 1963/64, the final score in the Lower Rhine League was repeated: Homberg was champion before Lohberg. The game for the German amateur championship against the amateurs of Hannover 96 was lost with 1: 3 goals. In the promotion round to Regionalliga West, Spielverein 03 prevailed against Eintracht Gelsenkirchen and SV Schlebusch and thus belonged to the 1964/65 round of Regionalliga West.

Regionalliga West, 1964 to 1971

On the fifth game day, on September 6, 1964, the Homberger won the first double point in the regional league with a 3-0 away win at co-promoted Eintracht Gelsenkirchen . Hans-Jürgen Jansen distinguished himself as a two-time goalscorer. On September 13th, the new Homberger Rheinstadion was inaugurated with the derby against Eintracht Duisburg . In front of 8,000 spectators, they parted with a 0-0 draw. Eight days later, the game club lost the second derby at Hamborn 07 with 0-1 goals. The following 1-0 home win against promotion favorites Alemannia Aachen was sensational . Jansen scored the winning goal in the 89th minute against the Tivoli team, directed by Branko Zebec in the middle position. Homberg was relegated as 18th in the table after the round and Jansen had played 23 games with seven goals for the team of coach Kurt Berg and teammates Herbert Bayer and Hans Hülsmann . Together with goalkeeper Paul Gläss , he accepted the offer from Eintracht Gelsenkirchen for the 1965/66 round and moved to Ückendorf in the stadium at Südpark.

In Gelsenkirchen he stormed together with Wolfgang Glock and Werner Tonk and came in the second season 1966/67 under coach Werner Cornelissen on the twelfth place. In the 2-2 draw on September 25, 1966 against VfL Bochum, he was able to distinguish himself as a two-time goalscorer. In total, Jansen played 58 games with 13 goals for Eintracht Gelsenkirchen from 1965 to 1967. For the 1967/68 round he accepted the offer of a contract from President Ottokar Wüst from VfL Bochum and moved his job to the stadium on Castroper Strasse.

As the new trainer, coach Hermann Eppenhoff led VfL Bochum to fifth and third place in the first two rounds. In the DFB Cup , however, Jansen experienced the surprising entry into the cup final in 1968, his first year in Bochum. The West German regional league team VfL Bochum prevailed against Karlsruher SC , VfB Stuttgart , in the quarterfinals against Borussia Mönchengladbach and in the semifinals in May 1968 against the highly favored Bayern Munich . Jansen scored the 1-0 lead against Bayern goalkeeper Sepp Maier in the fifth minute of the game. In the final in Ludwigshafen, however, 1. FC Köln certainly prevailed with 4-1 goals. In the 1969/70 season, Bochum won the first championship ahead of Arminia Bielefeld and Wuppertaler SV in the Regionalliga West. In the Bundesliga promotion round, where Jansen participated in the games against FK Pirmasens and VfL Wolfsburg, Kickers Offenbach prevailed. In 1971 VfL managed to defend their title in the west and Hans-Jürgen Jansen and his teammates also got through in the promotion round against VfL Osnabrück, Karlsruher SC, FK Pirmasens and Tasmania Berlin and were promoted to the Bundesliga . In the decisive away game on June 13, 1971 at KSC, Bochum won 2-1 goals, Jansen scored the 1-1 equalizer. He played all eight games in the promotion round. The promotion ceremony took place after the last game day, June 27, 1971, after the 5-2 win against Pirmasens. Coach Eppenhoff had trusted the midfield with Werner Balte , Werner Krämer and Jansen as well as the attack with Hans-Werner Hartl , Hans Walitza and Dieter Fern . Hans-Jürgen Jansen played a total of 125 games with 16 goals for VfL Bochum from 1967 to 1971 in the Regionalliga West.

Jansen was only called "Steiger" in Bochum because he worked underground as an electric engineer in the Rheinpreussen colliery on the Lower Rhine.

Amateur again

Jansen had helped to bring VfL Bochum into the Bundesliga, but after promotion he ended his career in the professional field and returned to Duisburg and played in amateur football again. For the round 1971/72 Jansen laced his kick boots for his home club Homberger SpV and played there with the newly promoted and fusion club VfB Homberg in the amateur league Niederrhein.
