career

TSV Munich 1860

The striker Hans Rebele began his career in 1961 with TSV 1860 Munich . Former national player Josef Wendl was the first big sponsor of the "Buam from the Munich slaughterhouse district", which was trimmed by the young trainer Wendl in the student and youth teams of the "Löwen". On January 7, 1962 Rebele made his debut on the 18th matchday of the 1961/62 season in the Oberliga Süd at 1: 4 of the "Löwen" at 1. FC Schweinfurt 05. On January 21, 1962 he scored on the 20th matchday at 1-1 his first league goal at VfB Stuttgart. Then he was used in the following 10 league games, but never scored a goal. In the 1962/63 season, Rebele played 15 league games for TSV 1860 and hit the opposing goal in the league five times that season. In total, he came to 26 games and 6 goals in the Oberliga Süd. With the Lions he won the championship in the Oberliga Süd in 1962/63 under coach Max Merkel and the sixties were included in the newly founded Bundesliga , in contrast to local rivals FC Bayern Munich . In the final round of the German football championship in 1963, the talent completed four group games (1 goal) from within their own ranks.

Together with his teammates Alfred Heiß and Rudolf Brunnenmeier , the technician who was strong at dribbling and was capable of combining, and who could be used both as an outside and a half-striker, entered the first half of the first Bundesliga season in 1963/64 for the international match against Bulgaria on September 25, 1963 German U-23 team appointed. It was his only international junior game. In the first Bundesliga round he made seven appearances with one goal, and in the second season he made six games with two goals. He was only able to push himself into the circle of regular players at the end of the 1964/65 season. In April and May 1965 he played him in the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup against AC Turin coached by Nereo Rocco . In the first leg on April 20, Rebele and colleagues at the Stadio Comunale had no chance, the 2-0 defeat flattered the "blues" even more. Eight days later, the Piedmontese were behind after 52 minutes but 3-0 and 1860 seemed to be in the final. Otto Luttrop lived up to his nickname "Atom-Otto" with two hits. After a corner, stopper Remo Lancioni managed to make it 3-1 with a header in the 74th minute and the two opponents therefore had to play a play-off in Zurich's Letzigrund on May 5th. There Rebele brought the sixties 1-0 lead in the 59th minute before Luttrop converted a penalty in the 90th minute to 2-0. The final took place on May 19 at Wembley Stadium in London in front of 97,974 spectators against West Ham United . The "Hammers" were considered a favorite. It was thanks to a great Petar Radenković between the posts that the South Germans went goalless into the dressing room. Right winger Alan Sealey decided the game for manager Ron Greenwood's team with two hits . The great audience at Wembley led the Munich team into the dressing room with ovations, and even the English press found words of appreciation for the Merkel team's impressive performance, especially in the first half. Rebele had also convinced the national coach, especially in the games against Turin and West Ham: On May 26, 1965 in Basel, Helmut Schön called him to a friendly against Switzerland in the national soccer team . In the 300th international match of the DFB, the Schön-Elf ran with Alfred Heiß, Hans Küppers , Walter Rodekamp , Wolfgang Overath and Rebele in the attack. With a Rodekamp header in the 43rd minute, the teams went into the half-time break and after another 45 minutes the score was 1-0 for Germany. Rebele had not been able to express himself and was no longer part of the national team for the next few years.

In the following season he was German soccer champion with the Munich Lions . He had contributed five goals in 22 league appearances. In the championship round , he also gained further international experience in the international trade fair cup with six games against Malmö FF, Göztepe Izmir and Chelsea London. The defending champion reached the runner-up in 1966/67 in 1860, but saw the elimination of the European Cup in November 1966 against Real Madrid and the dismissal of Max Merkel on December 10, 1966. The midfield players Küppers (14 goals), Peter Grosser and Rebele with eight goals each were the most successful shooters of the round. Things went downhill with Rudi Brunnenmeier, Ludwig Bründl wasn't ready yet, Heiß, Kohlars and Konietzka had seen better days. However, Eintracht Braunschweig won the German championship with just 49 goals. Then things went steadily downhill with the sixties in the table with 12th place in 1968 and 10th place in 1969. Although Hans Rebele was able to play a second time in the national dress on March 26, 1969 in an international match in Frankfurt against Wales (1: 1) for one half at the side of Reinhard Libuda , Gerd Müller and Sigfried Held , he left in the same year returned to the amateur camp and surprisingly joined the MTV 1879 Munich in the district league. After the “Löwen” was relegated to the Bundesliga in 1970, Hans Rebele returned to TSV 1860 after one round and completed in the following two years - 1970/71 (4th place, 36-6); 1971/72 (3rd place, 31-8) - still 67 games (14 goals) for the "Blues" under coach Hans Tilkowski in the second-rate Regionalliga Süd; the Bundesliga return did not succeed.

Innsbruck, 1972 to 1975

In 1972 Rebele moved to Austria for FC Wacker Innsbruck . Here he ended his active career in 1975. He made 80 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga and scored eight goals. With Innsbruck alongside players like Wolfgang Breuer , Johann Eigenstiller , Ove Flindt-Bjerg , Roland Hattenberger , Kurt Jara , Friedl Koncilia , Bruno Pezzey and Kurt Welzl , he won the championship and the cup in 1973 and 1975.

The trained banker has remained loyal to the Löwen to this day after his return from Innsbruck. For many years he played in the old league for the sixties, later in the traditional team, until he had to stop due to an injury (got an artificial hip). The father of two still regularly attends the games of his lions.
