from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horst Jesih (born January 30, 1937 ; † September 27, 2007 ) was a German football player who scored 40 goals in 94 league games at Hamborn 07 in the Oberliga West from 1955 to 1962 and thus made the club's internal goalscorer list for the Hamborn “Löwen “Leads.

career

The striker, who grew up in the Sportfreunde youth group, was appointed to the German national youth football team by the DFB in 1955 and participated in the 1955 UEFA youth tournament in Italy. In both tournament games against Portugal (0: 0) and Italy (0: 1), the Hamborner offensive hope stormed in the German attack. Striker colleagues in the UEFA tournament were Willi Koslowski , Hans Nowak , Rudolf Kölbl and Dieter Backhaus .

In his first year of senior football, 1955/56, the talent made 16 league appearances, scoring ten goals. Jesih made his debut on the first day of play in the Oberliga West. He contributed two hits to the 4-0 home win on August 27, 1955 against Wuppertaler SV. The team from August-Thyssen-Stadion , who had just returned to the upper league, was unable to maintain relegation with 17:43 points and the fewest hits −37 goals in 30 rounds and was immediately relegated to the 2nd division west. The powerful center forward with a good headball game stayed with the black and yellow and celebrated in 1957 before RW Oberhausen and VfB Bottrop with the "Löwen" the championship in the 2nd division and thus the return to the Oberliga West. In the second league year, 1957/58, he was only used in 17 games due to injuries and scored four goals. At the side of the teammates Adolf Kallenborn , Rudolf Lichtenberger and Rolf Schafstall, this could not prevent the relegation. With only 29 hits in 30 games, the sports fans could not realize relegation. However, the “elevator team” immediately won the championship in the second division in 1958/59 and from 1959/60 belonged again to the highest class in the west. Jesih had scored 27 goals in 26 second division games in 1958/59 for Hamborn.

Like team- mates Horst Podlasly (goalkeeper), Lichtenberger - Rolf Schafstall ( pair of defenders) and side runners Günther Pracz and Adolf Schönborn , center forward Jesih played all 30 league games under coach Fred Harthaus in the 1959/60 season . With his 17 goals scored, he finished fifth in the top division shooting list behind Jürgen Schütz (31), Christian Müller (28), Friedhelm Konietzka (25) and Bernhard Schwier from Viktoria Köln with 22 goals. With 45:48 goals, the Sportfreunde came in twelfth place in the table and were able to keep the class just ahead of Fortuna Düsseldorf and SW Essen. The local competition from Duisburger SV and Meidericher SV, however, came in fifth and eighth respectively. In the local derby against the "MSV Zebras", the striker scored all three goals in a home game in front of 20,000 spectators on October 4, 1959 in a 3-0 home win. The next two rounds, however, prevented by injuries, he was no longer able to continuously play for his team and after the 0-2 home defeat on February 17, 1962 against 1. FC Köln, he ended his career as a sports invalid in the Oberliga West at the age of 25. Horst Jesih set his club's internal goal record in the Oberliga West with 40 goals in five rounds.
