Herbert Ammer
Herbert Ammer (born November 13, 1938 in Herzogenaurach ; † February 15, 2011 ) was a German football player. The offensive player made 51 appearances with eleven goals in the old first-class soccer Oberliga Süd from 1959 to 1963 as an active player in 1. FC Nürnberg and BC Augsburg . At SSV Reutlingen , from 1963 to 1973, a further 219 competitive games with 58 goals were added to the then second -rate regional soccer league .
career
At the age of 20, the talented half and center forward of ASV Herzogenaurach signed a contract with 1. FC Nürnberg and dared the leap into the South German football upper house. With Paul Derbfuß another amateur came from VfB Bayreuth, Helmut Hilpert moved up from the amateur team and Gustav Flachenecker and Tasso Wild from the club youth. The man from Herzogenaurach made his debut on the eighth match day, October 18, 1959, in a 3: 3 home draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on half right next to center forward Heinz Strehl in the football league. On November 29, he scored a goal in the 3-2 away defeat against FC Bayern Munich. Under coach Franz Binder he made six league games with one goal and preferred to move to the 2nd League South to BC Augsburg for the 1960/61 round, as he clearly promised better opportunities there than in Nuremberg. His sporting expectations were fulfilled, with coach Hans Hipp and at the side of one of the greatest German talents, Helmut Haller , the BCA celebrated the championship and thus the return to the Oberliga Süd.
In the 1961/62 world championship year, the league returnee finished 11th and Herbert Ammer had played 22 games alongside national player Haller and scored eight goals. In the last year of the first-class league era, 1962/63 , the BCA landed in 16th place without Haller, who had switched to FC Bologna , and Ammer signed a new contract with SSV Reutlingen for the 1963/64 round and stormed into the newly installed regional football league South in the stadium at the Kreuzeichen .
In Reutlingen, the former master coach of VfB Stuttgart, Georg Wurzer , worked and he led the SSV to fifth place in the first year of the second-rate regional league. Ammer had scored eleven goals in 26 league games alongside teammates Rolf Schafstall and Knut Tagliaferri . In his second year in Reutlingen, Ammer increased his quota to 33 league games with 14 goals and was one of the guarantors that the SSV developed into the main competitor of the clear championship favorites FC Bayern Munich . Reinforced by goalkeeper Theo Diegelmann and winger Rolf Thommes , the Wurzer-Elf won the runner-up in 1964/65 .
In the two direct comparisons in the round against the team of coach Zlatko Čajkovski - on October 24, 1964 in Munich; on March 20, 1965 in Reutlingen - but Ammer and colleagues had no chance. At the stadium on Grünwalder Strasse there was a 5-0 defeat in the first half of the season and the home game in front of 18,000 spectators was won by Bayern's “heavenly stormers” with 3-0 goals. The Bayern attack with Rudolf Nafziger , Rainer Ohlhauser , Gerd Müller , Dieter Koulmann and Dieter Brenninger was top notch and the quality of the defense was documented by Sepp Maier , Werner Olk and Franz Beckenbauer . With the 36th matchday, May 9, 1965, the association round in the south was completed, just eight days later, on May 16, the south vice had to play at the north vice FC St. Pauli for the qualifying game for inclusion in the Bundesliga promotion round. At the Millerntor Stadium , the SSV lost 0-1 goals. The home game on May 23 brought a 4-1 win in extra time, with Ammer making the 3-1 intermediate result in the 108th minute against the St. Paulians, led by Jürgen Weidlandt and Ingo Porges .
In the actual promotion round, Ammer and colleagues had to deal with Holstein Kiel, Wormatia Worms and Borussia Mönchengladbach. From the first three encounters the SSV got 4: 2 points, then the trip went on June 16 to the Bökelberg Stadium in Mönchengladbach. There the “foals” of trainer Hennes Weisweiler triumphed in a convincing manner and decided the top meeting in front of 35,000 spectators with a 7-0 home win. Two goals by Herbert Ammer brought three points for Reutlingen in the two final games against Worms (2: 1) and Kiel (1: 1), but Mönchengladbach rose one point to the Bundesliga.
With coach Richard Schneider and the two teammates in the storm, Harald Braner and Willibald Mikulasch , the SSV played with Herbert Ammer - 28 games with twelve goals - in 1967/68 again seriously for a place in the promotion round. In the end it was enough behind champions FC Bayern Hof - Wolfgang Breuer , Siegfried Stark - and runner-up Kickers Offenbach - Rudolf Wimmer , Hermann Nuber - only to an ungrateful third place. In the next few rounds, however, things went down in the table and in 1972/73 Reutlingen was relegated to the amateur camp. The 34-year-old veteran had supported his team in the relegation battle in nine games. The most successful regional league shooter of the SSV even jumped at the age of 40 in 1978/79 in five games in the amateur league Baden-Württemberg for his club.
