Life
The defensive midfielder began his career at WSV Fohnsdorf and came to Grazer AK via Vorwärts Fohnsdorf , for which he made his debut in the top Austrian league in the 1965/66 season . The greatest success with the athletes for Heinz Schilcher was reaching the ÖFB Cup final in 1968, which however was lost to SK Rapid Vienna 0-2. After this season he decided to move to city rivals SK Sturm Graz , from whom the big leap to Ajax Amsterdam succeeded in 1971 . The Grazer received the then large transfer fee of one million schillings.
In the Netherlands , where Heinz Schilcher played with fellow players like Johan Neeskens and Johan Cruyff , he won everything there is to win in club football: he was Dutch champion in 1972 and 1973 and cup winner in 1972. He also won the European Cup with Ajax in 1972 and 1973 win, with Heinz Schilcher in both cases only playing up to the semi-finals against Benfica Lisbon and Real Madrid . In March 1973, Schilcher was on the field in Ajax's legendary 4-0 victory in the quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich. At this time he also had his only international match in the Austrian national team . Leopold Šťastný summoned him on March 18, 1973 against the Netherlands ; Austria won 1-0 with a goal from Helmut Köglberger . In Amsterdam he also met his wife Elin, who died in 2017.
From the Netherlands, Heinz Schilcher went to France for Division 1 during the winter break in 1974 , first for Paris FC and then for two seasons until 1976 at Olympique Nîmes . After Nîmes in 1976 RC Strasbourg followed , where he originally acted as a player-coach. The trainer function took over from November Elek Schwartz . With Strasbourg he rose in 1977 as division 2 champion in division 1, where he played for another year for racing. After seven years abroad, Heinz Schilcher finally returned to Graz, where he was an undisputed regular player in Sturm in the Bundesliga for four more seasons until 1982. In 1981 he only missed the championship title, which was believed to be safe, due to a defeat on the last day of play against Rapid.
