career

At SG Düren 99 , where the career of Karl-Heinz Schnellinger , who was three years younger , began in 1954, the technician's career began in 1954 with a great willingness to run. Under coach Fritz Langner , he made eight appearances (1 goal) in the 2nd League West in the 1954/55 season. When Crawatzo had scored seven goals for Düren in 29 league games in the 2nd League West in 1956/57 , he received an offer from Herne. For the round in 1957/58, the 21-year-old was signed by SC Westfalia Herne and thus made the leap into the football league West . Under coach Fritz Langner he was not a member of the team from the stadium at Strünkede Castle . When Herne surprisingly won the championship in the west in its second season, 1958/59 , he only made four appearances at the side of Hans Tilkowski , Alfred Pyka , Helmut Benthaus , Kurt Sopart and Gerhard Clement , scoring two goals. After a total of 16 league games with three goals, he joined the league relegated STV Horst-Emscher in Gelsenkirchen for the 1959/60 round and played with the team from the Fürstenberg Stadium again in the 2nd League West and was used in 25 league games. With the blue-blacks he scored seven goals in 26 games in his second year in the second division, 1960/61, at the side of teammates like Werner Jestremski and Rudolf Schmidt , before he accepted an offer from Freiburg FC for the 1961/62 round moved to southern Baden. Under coach Hans Wendlandt and at the side of the young goalkeeper Peter Kunter and the veteran in the stopper position, Siegfried Geesmann , he reached sixth place with the team from the Möslestadion and attracted the attention of the western upper division Borussia Mönchengladbach with his performance and followed suit twelve months back in the football west, where he joined the team from the Bökelberg Stadium for the 1962/63 round.

In Gladbach he met trainer Langner again, but now he was part of the regular line-up in the last year of the old first-class Oberliga era. With the team from Niederrhein he finished 11th in the season after the departure of national striker Albert Brülls to AS Modena and was active in 27 league games, where he scored three goals. He made his debut at BMG on the start day of the 1962/63 round, on August 18, 1962, in a 1: 3 away defeat against Preußen Münster. He ended the chapter of the first-class league on matchday 30, May 11, 1963, with a 4-4 draw at Westfalia Herne. Crawatzo, who played half right, scored two goals against national goalkeeper Tilkowski. In the first year of the newly installed second -rate regional football league West , 1963/64 , Mönchengladbach took eighth place with the talents Horst-Dieter Höttges , Herbert L Bäumen and Günter Netzer . Crawatzo had scored three goals in 30 league games. In the last two round games, on May 3 and 10, 1964 against Arminia Bielefeld and the Sportfreunde Siegen, he was also active under the new coach Hennes Weisweiler , who replaced Fritz Langner, who had switched to Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. He followed Langner for the 1964/65 round to Schalke and was thus active in the first class of the Bundesliga.

At the side of the teammates Manfred Kreuz , Hans Nowak , Willi Schulz , Friedel Rausch , Waldemar Gerhardt , Günter Herrmann , Willi Koslowski and Reinhard Libuda , he completed 27 Bundesliga games for "Royal Blue" in which he scored two goals, but the round was extremely negative . With 22:38 points, the old master graced the last place in the table and several prominent players turned their backs on Schalke 04. Crawatzo moved to North Baden, he joined the Bundesliga penultimate, the Karlsruher SC. The eleven from the Wildparkstadion managed to stay in the league with just 24:44 points. Under coach Helmut Schneider Crawatzo was still a member of the regular eleven , under his successor Werner Roth , who acted from October 19, 1965 , he was only a few of the KSC eleven. After 17 further Bundesliga appearances and one appearance in the DFB-Pokal , he moved from Karlsruhe to SC Opel Rüsselsheim in the football regional league south in the summer of 1966 . In two rounds he played 23 league games with two goals in the Hessen under the coaches Erich Bäumler and Otto Barić and ended his high-class playing career in 1968 at the age of 32.
