Career
The defender Gamon comes from the Upper Silesian Groß-Strehlitz . After the end of the Second World War , his family first moved to Rochlitz in Saxony , before the Gamons fled first to Stukenbrock and then to Herford in 1951 . In the same year he began his footballing career in the youth of VfB Einigkeit Herford , before he gave a one-year guest appearance at FC St. Pauli in the 1955/56 season . After only a year he returned to Herford and played for Union Herford , with whom he was promoted to the then third-class Westphalia Association in 1959 .
In the summer of 1960 he moved to league rival Arminia Bielefeld . As a bonus for the change, Gamon received a VW Beetle from Arminia and a ten-day vacation in the Black Forest . With this measure, the Bielefeld wanted to prevent that his old club would change his mind and revoke the contract with Arminia. With the Bielefeld team, Gamon became Westphalian champion in 1962 and was promoted to the 2nd Division West . A year later he qualified with his team for the newly created Regionalliga West . In the final phase of the season, the new coach Helmut Meidt Gamon as a striker .
Gamon has struggled with injuries throughout his career. Once he played for weeks with pain in his right heel . It turned out that the pain was caused by a chipped bone that was then removed by surgery. In the summer of 1965, Gamon had to end his career due to injury. He completed 14 games for Bielefeld in the 2nd Division West, in which he scored three times. There were also 26 regional league games with two goals.
Horst Gamon was considered to be a strong running and header strong player. A photo by Günter Rudolf became famous, showing Gamon almost horizontally with a diving header during a game against VfL Osnabrück . National player Uwe Seeler saw this photo and said that a header “couldn't be made better or more perfect”. Gamon later worked as a coach, including for SV Eidinghausen-Werste from Bad Oeynhausen , SC Herford , BV Bad Oeynhausen , FC Gohfeld and TSG Harsewinkel . Today he lives as a pensioner in Herford.
