life and career

Laszig was born very close to the Gelsenkirchen Glückauf-Kampfbahn . When he was nine years old, his older brother Otto took him to training. With the miners he played in school and youth teams; with the A-youth he became - together with later professionals like Willi Koslowski and Waldemar Gerhardt - West German champion.

1956 appointed him coach Edi Frühwirth for the first time in the first team. In the Schalke championship year 1958, the "all-rounder" was part of the squad, but could not take part in the championship finals due to a broken ankle . In the following season, however, he was one of the regular staff of the team, which was only stopped in the quarter-finals of Atlético Madrid in the European Cup . In the league too , he soon belonged to the regular eleven. For the Royal Blues he completed 94 league, six European Cup and eleven other competitive games , scoring a total of five goals.

In 1961 he followed his former Schalke trainer Nándor Lengyel to league competitor Rot-Weiß Oberhausen , where he played in a team with Jürgen Sundermann and Karlheinz Feldkamp . One of his first games for RWO was the duel with his former teammates. 37,000 spectators wanted to see the game of third place in the Oberliga West against Schalke in the Niederrheinstadion - a record attendance for a game of the Red-Whites to this day. The Westphalia won with luck 2: 1; Oberhausen was three points missing at the end of the season to take part in the championship round. In the following season, Laszig and his team missed qualifying for the new Bundesliga with tenth place .

For the 1965/66 season he moved within the Regionalliga West for professional reasons to TSV Marl-Hüls , where he ended his active career. He later coached some amateur teams and played in the traditional Schalke team until 1990.

In 1970 he passed the master's examination in the butcher's trade and took over the business of his in-laws.
