Heribert Finken (born December 31, 1939 ) in Sülz (Cologne) , also Herbert Finken or Hans Herbert Finken , is a former German football player . The defensive player in the season 1965/66 in Tasmania Berlin in the Bundesliga completed ten Bundesliga games.

Career

The son of Gauliga player Heinrich Finken, who had belonged to the championship team of SpVgg Sülz in the 1938/39 season , started in the youth department of 1. FC Köln in July 1951. He spent his first senior season in the FC amateur team in 1958/59. From 1959 to 1963 he was a member of the football league West's squad , but did not make the breakthrough. Under coach Oswald Pfau it was only enough to play two games; once in a league game in the Oberliga West, when he was used as a right runner on April 24, 1960 on the final day of a 2: 3 away defeat at VfL Bochum and once in a game for the West German Cup . In Bochum he played on the side of goalkeeper Fritz Ewert , the defenders Fritz Breuer and Karl-Heinz Schnellinger , the runners Leo Wilden and Hans Sturm , and the attackers Helmut Rahn , Karl-Heinz Ripkens , Georg Stollenwerk , Hans Schäfer and Franz Brungs . In addition to the strong competition in the players' squad, the daily hard work loading and unloading in his father's coal store had a negative impact on his footballing ambitions. After he could not prevail in the "billy goats", he moved to the 1961/62 season for the Dutch second division Heracles Almelo , with whom he won the second division championship in 1962 and then was active until 1965 in the Eredivisie .

Although he originally wanted to return to Cologne as an amateur, he was signed by the new Bundesliga club Tasmania Berlin for the 1965/66 season . Hertha BSC's Bundesliga license was withdrawn, while FC Schalke 04 and Karlsruher SC were relegated to the regional league. On July 31, 1965, the Bundestag of the German Football Association decided to increase the Bundesliga to 18 clubs, to include Tasmania as a representative of Berlin and to leave Karlsruhe and Schalke in the Bundesliga. The start of the round was scheduled for August 14th, and Tasmania could not speak of targeted preparation for the Bundesliga challenge. From the beginning of the training as well as not from the team reinforcement. Tasmania 1900 was only 3rd in the Stadtliga Berlin 1964/65 behind Tennis Borussia and Spandauer SV and Master TeBe had scored 3: 9 points from six games in the Bundesliga promotion round, so was in no way a club for the Bundesliga. That was definitely true of Tasmania as well. In addition, the Neukölln goal scorer, Heinz Fischer , had signed a contract with Eintracht Gelsenkirchen and was no longer available for "Tas". Horst Szymaniak was then the only serious reinforcement for the Bundesliga and Tasmania put in a "record round": In 34 round games, the Berliners achieved 8:60 points with 15:10 goals.

Finken made his debut on August 28, 1965 (3rd matchday) in a 2-0 home defeat against Borussia Dortmund . He played his tenth and last Bundesliga game on January 8, 1966, the start of the second half of the season at Karlsruher SC. He played right runner and the game was lost 3-0. Tasmania was in 18th place after 18 games with 3:33 points and 8:61 goals. However, his football career came to an abrupt end in the spring of 1966 when it became apparent that he had stolen a camel hair coat; he was terminated without notice by the association. If innocent , this negative fact reads as follows: "A guest at the club's restaurant accused him of stealing an expensive coat, whereupon the Tasmania board felt compelled to suspend Finken." Then the Essen players' agent Raymond Schwab referred him to the USA. In 1967 Finken played in the National Professional Soccer League, initially briefly with the Pittsburgh Phantoms and then with the New York Generals , for whom he also played in the North American Soccer League in 1968 and was a teammate of César Luis Menotti and Jacobus Prins .

After his return to Europe, there were two more positions at Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz (1968/69) and AVV Columbia Apeldoorn (1969/70) before he let his career end in German amateur football from 1970/71. He was still at SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 (1970-1972), SpVgg Hürth-Hermülheim (1972-1974) and BC Efferen (1974/75) active. After two years as a coach at Borussia Kalk and SV Rot-Weiss Zollstock 05, the trained car mechanic ended his football activities. Finken worked as a glass and building cleaner until he retired and lives in Cologne-Ehrenfeld.
