Herbert Schröder (born December 22, 1945 in Rhade , † May 12, 2000 in Los Angeles ) was a German football player . In 1966 the midfield director was German amateur champion with SV Werder Bremen . He was part of the VfL Osnabrück team that was three times in a row champions of the then second-rate Regionalliga Nord from 1969 to 1971 . He ended his professional career in 1973 in Austria with the first division club SK VÖEST Linz . He later emigrated to the United States where he ran a carpeting company.

Career

After his youth at FC Rhade in the municipality of the same name in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district , Schröder came to the amateurs of the club via the youth department of SV Werder Bremen , with whom he won the German amateur championship with a 5: 1 at the age of 20 as a playmaker in 1966 -Final success over the amateurs of Hannover 96 won to which he contributed a goal. In the 1966/67 season he came to four games in the Bundesliga, which SV Werder completed as the SV Werder in 16th. He played his first game on the 2nd match day on August 27, 1966 in the 1: 2 home defeat against VfB Stuttgart ; his three other games - 1: 2 at TSV 1860 Munich, 1: 3 against 1. FC Köln (16th and 17th matchdays) and most recently on 28th matchday 0: 3 against Karlsruher SC - were also lost.

The trainer of the Bremen amateur championship team, Hans-Wilhelm Loßmann , moved to Osnabrück for the season in the then second-class Regionalliga Nord for VfL Osnabrück . With him came Carsten Baumann , Jürgen Ey and Herbert Schröder. At the end of the 1967-68 season Osnabrück was seventh and coach Loßmann who was divorced in the dispute was replaced by the Yugoslav Radoslav Momirski under whom the most successful era in the club's history began, which culminated in the three regional league championships from 1969 to 1971. In the promotion round to the Bundesliga, Osnabrück came second in the group twice without having had any real chance of promotion. Schröder was the elegant, ball-safe and goal-scoring director of this team and scored 42 goals in 139 point games and prepared more than twice as many. “We don't need a soul , we don't need a hero - we have Herbert Schröder, the best man in the world!” Chanted a banner in the Osnabrück stadium, which was experiencing new attendance records at the time.

The Bayern Munich wanted before the season 1971-72 the relatively expensive Allgäu force footballer Franz Roth received from the payroll. President Wilhelm Neudecker announced, "physically Schröder is a guy like Roth" and signed him for the Bundesliga team after he had already hired Jürgen Ey from Osnabrück the year before. Roth stayed with Bayern, who were German champions for the third time at the end of the season. Schröder did not appear in a competitive game in the team around Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller and said years later, "I would have just never gone to Bayern ".

During the winter break he moved to SK VÖEST Linz in Austria . A car accident probably prevented it from being used for the Austrians this season. In the national league season 1972-73 he played 15 points games, scored six goals and contributed to fifth place in the table at the end of the season. At the beginning of the season he also had his only two games in European football when he and his team were eliminated from the competition in the first round of the UEFA Cup with 2: 4 after a return match against Dynamo Dresden .

He then returned to Osnabrück and ended his active football career at VfR Voxtrup in the 2nd district class .

Others

In 1979 he emigrated to Santa Monica ( California ), founded a carpeting company with his sister and died on May 12, 2000 - at the age of 54 - following a heart valve operation , his second in ten years, in Los Angeles . He was cremated in California and buried in his native Rhade. In his old age, he planned to settle in Osnabrück, where he came to visit every year.
