from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herbert Bayer (born April 1, 1939 ) is a former German soccer player who, as an offensive player for the Homberger SV and Bayer 05 Uerdingen clubs, played a total of 75 league games in the then second -rate regional soccer league from 1964 to 1974 and scored eight goals. In October 1963, as a player for VfB Lohberg, he played three international matches in the amateur national team of the DFB and scored two goals.

Player career

Born and raised in Freiberg , Saxony , Bayer came to the Lower Rhine in the early 1960s and joined VfB Lohberg as a footballer . With the "Kumpelelf" from the Dorotheenkampfbahn he won the runner- up in 1963 and 1964 behind Meister Homberger SV in the Niederrhein Association League. Bayer had previously fought with VfB Lohberg in the West German Cup in the 4th main round on May 19, 1963 in the home game against the league club Alemannia Aachen a 2-2 win and with the 3-2 win in the replay on May 29 caused a sensation at Tivoli . In Aachen he scored a goal. In the first main round of the DFB Cup , on June 30, 1963, he stormed to half right at the side of center forward Dieter Paulsberg in the narrow 3: 4 defeat at Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen and had it primarily with the Werder- Runner row Max Lorenz , Arnold Schütz and Helmut Schimeczek had to do.

When, in September 1963, the amateur national team met the GDR in the two German-German qualifying games before the Olympic qualification on the 15th and 22nd in Karl-Marx-Stadt and Hanover and were eliminated after a 3-0 defeat and a 2-1 victory , the man from Lohberg was in the DFB's squad, but he was not used because Franz-Josef Hönig , Dieter Zettelmaier , Gerhard Neuser and Heinz-Herbert Kreh were high-performing players available for the internal storm . In October the amateur national team flew to Tokyo for a pre-Olympic tournament and Bayer was used three times in the internationals against Japan B (2: 1), South Vietnam (2: 1) and Japan A (1: 1) and he scored as a center forward two goals. After the end of the round in 1963/64, he joined the champions and promoted players in the Regionalliga West, the Homberger SV. The second class in the West turned out to be too high a sporting hurdle for the climber. With 20:48 points, Homberg and Bayer ended up in 18th and last place at the end of the lap. With only 24 hits, the offensive was not competitive; Bernd Rupp from Borussia Mönchengladbach and Peter Meyer from Fortuna Düsseldorf each scored 25 goals more than the entire Homberger SV team. Herbert Bayer completed 22 league games for the relegated team and scored two goals alongside Hans-Jürgen Jansen .

After Homberg, Bayer 05 Uerdingen was Bayer's third station in the West of Football. In the 1968/69 season he was runner-up with Uerdingen on the Lower Rhine and in June played in the preliminary round or in the quarter-finals of the German amateur championship against FSV Frankfurt (2: 2, 2: 0) and SpVgg Erkenschwick (2: 6, 1 : 4). When coach Klaus Quinkert won the title on the Lower Rhine in the 1970/71 season and after the promotion round all three competitors SV Arminia Gütersloh, VfL Klafeld-Geisweid and Bayer 05 Uerdingen were promoted, Bayer was a member of the championship and promotion team. This season he was also used in the association selection of the Lower Rhine in the games for the national cup . At the side of teammates like Heiner Baltes , Reiner Hollmann , Benno Beiroth , Rudi Seliger , Leonhard Helmreich and Klaus Wunder he lost the final on July 11, 1971 in Bayreuth with 1: 2 nV against host Bavaria.

The regional league climber from Uerdingen took on the challenge of second class in 1971/72 with newcomers such as Manfred Burgsmüller , Paul Hahn , Horst Riege and Hans Sondermann . The 32-year-old Bayer made his debut with the team from the Grotenburg Stadium on August 15, 1971 with a 0-0 draw at Westfalia Herne in the Regionalliga. At the end of the round, Uerdingen was in 7th place and the veteran had scored four goals in 24 league appearances. In the second season, 1972/73 , when Uerdingen was even able to improve to third place, the veteran was part of the regular line-up with 27 league appearances and two goals, which was reinforced again with newcomers such as Norbert Brinkmann , Peter Falter and Wolfgang Lüttges had been. With the two substitutions on December 9, 1973 and February 3, 1974 against Alemannia Aachen (1: 1) and STV Gelsenkirchen / Horst (8: 2), Bayer ended his playing career as a contract footballer in the summer of 1974 after 53 regional league appearances with six goals.
