Career

Hamburger SV, 1952 to 1967

Oberliga Nord, 1952 to 1963

Horst Schnoor began his career at Langenhorn TSV in Hamburg. In 1952 he moved to Hamburger SV . For the next 15 years he was the club's regular goalkeeper until he was ousted by Özcan Arkoç in 1967 due to protracted injuries . The successor to Walter Warning played a total of 293 games in the Oberliga Nord and 106 games in the Bundesliga . In 1959 in a 6-0 win against Bremerhaven 93 and in 1961 in a 4-2 win against VfR Neumünster , he scored one goal each.

Under coach Georg Knöpfle , the 18-year-old made his debut on the start day of the 1952/53 season, August 23, 1952, with a 4-3 home win against Altona 93 in what was then the first-class Oberliga Nord. In addition to Jochenfritz Meinke , he was the second young player to represent the future of the Rothenbaum team alongside established top performers such as Josef Posipal and Herbert Wojtkowiak . At the end of the round, he celebrated his first Northern Championship with HSV and thus entered the final round of the German championship. The young goalkeeper was used in all six group matches against VfB Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund and Union 06 Berlin; In terms of sport, however, the record with 3: 9 points for the north champion was not satisfactory. The round was concluded positively with a 3-2 win on June 24, 1953 at Rothenbaum at home against Holstein Kiel in the final of the North German Cup. By the end of the first-class league era, 1962/63, the goalkeeper was a member of nine other HSV championship teams. He won a total of ten North German championships from 1953 to 1963.

From the round of 1954/55, Uwe Seeler and Klaus Stürmer, two formative offensive players, belonged to the team around goalkeeper Schnoor. The way to the top in DFB football was still connected with defeats in the final: In 1956, HSV lost the DFB Cup final with 1: 3 goals against defending champions Karlsruher SC; In 1957 the first final for the German championship with 1: 4 goals against defending champions Borussia Dortmund and in 1958 the second defeat for the German championship with 0: 3 goals against FC Schalke 04 followed. Horst Schnoor guarded the HSV goal in all three finals, a goalkeeper who shone through quick reactions and fearlessness in the most dangerous situations. When, in the 1959/60 season, Gert Dörfel, an extraordinarily fast, tricky left-wing striker who served goal-scorer Uwe Seeler in the attack center with measured flanks, joined coach Günter Mahlmann's team, the HSV team with goalkeeper Schnoor finally took the crown . On June 25, 1960, Hamburger SV won the final against 1. FC Köln for the German championship with 3-2 goals. In the scorching heat in Frankfurt's Waldstadion, the young HSV team prevailed in the second half against the Cologne veterans around Georg Stollenwerk , Josef Röhrig , Helmut Rahn and Hans Schäfer . After 32 years, Schnoor and colleagues brought the title of German champion back to the Alster.

As the German champions, the games for the European Cup came into the HSV program in 1960/61. First, the Swiss champions Young Boys Bern (5: 0, 3: 3) were eliminated, followed by the legendary games against Burnley FC and the Barcelona trilogy. The English champions of 1960, Burnley FC and playmaker Jimmy McIlroy , had eliminated the 1959 EC finalists in the second round of Stade Reims . On a Wednesday evening, January 18, 1961, HSV was clearly inferior to the Clarets in a 3-1 defeat in front of 46,237 fans on Turf Moor. The second leg watched on March 15, 74,000 in the sold out Volksparkstadion. Jürgen Werner successfully shadowed FC playmaker McIlroy and goals from Klaus Stürmer and Uwe Seeler made HSV go 2-0 into halftime. After the 4: 1 with the second Seeler goal in the 61st minute, there was half an hour of tremors as Burnley threw all his fighting qualities into the scales and forced the hosts into defense. But Horst Schnoor could not be overcome. In the semifinals, Schnoor and colleagues met CF Barcelona , who had eliminated five-time cup winners Real Madrid in the round of 16 and not least because of that they were favorites. In early summer temperatures in front of 90,000 spectators at Camp Nou, the Hamburg goalkeeper showed his great skills in Barcelona on April 12th. Weinrich noted that "that (HSV) was able to take a good starting position on the way home with a narrow 0: 1 was primarily thanks to the man with a thousand hands, Horst Schnoor." According to Hoffmann, he showed in the European Cup matches against FC Burnley and FC Barcelona in the spring of 1961 outstanding performances and received a tempting offer from Spanish opponents Barcelona ("We want this goalkeeper or none."), Which Schnoor declined.

With the tenth championship win in 1962/63, the chapter of the first-class Oberliga Nord ended; Schnoor had been in goal in 25 league games and his friend Hans Krämer had represented him in five league games. In the final round of the German championship, however, the series champions of the north disappointed against rivals Borussia Dortmund, TSV 1860 Munich and Borussia Neunkirchen. The men around Schnoor and Uwe Seeler ended up with 3: 9 points on the unfamiliar last place in the group. From 1952 to 1963, the HSV goalkeeper had a total of 293 league games in the Oberliga Nord - 2 goals; One goal each against Bremerhaven 93 in the 1958/59 season and 1960/61 against VfR Neumünster - and 54 finals for the German championship in statistics.

Bundesliga, 1963 to 1967

The competitive games in the debut year of the Bundesliga 1963/64 were opened by the cup games for the DFB Cup in 1963. Under coach Martin Wilke and with the newcomers Fritz Boyens and Willi Giesemann , HSV first prevailed in the quarter-finals on July 31, 1963 with a 1-0 home win against 1.FC Saarbrücken, and with the same result decided the semi-final game on July 7. August in front of 35,000 spectators in the stadium at the zoo against Wuppertaler SV and thus stood in Hanover in the final against the reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund on August 14, ten days before the start of the Bundesliga. Uwe Seeler scored all three goals for Hamburg's 3-0 win. The fact that the BVB offensive with Reinhold Wosab , Aki Schmidt , Franz Brungs , Burghard Rylewicz and Gerd Cyliax could not prevail, was also due to the HSV defense directed by Schnoor. Three days later, the cup winner played an international friendly against Arsenal London (2-2) and made his Bundesliga debut on August 24 with a 1-1 away draw at Preußen Münster. After the fourth match day in the new performance class - after Münster there were three wins against Saarbrücken (4: 2), Karlsruher SC (4: 0) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3: 0) - HSV led tied with 7: 1 points with 1. FC Köln and FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga table. Immediately before the games in the European Cup Winners' Cup against FC Barcelona in November / December 1963, the "Rothosen" lost the two top games against Meidericher SV (0: 4) and 1. FC Köln (1: 4) in November and slipped the sixth rank. From Barcelona Schnoor and colleagues came back to Hamburg with a 4: 4 goal, where they parted on December 11 after a goalless 0: 0 and finally prevailed 3: 2 in the decider on December 18 in Lausanne. The North Germans finished the season in sixth place, Schnoor had been in goal in 29 of 30 league games; including on March 7, 1964, three days after the 1-1 home draw in the European Cup against Olympique Lyon, in a depressingly high 2: 9 away defeat at 1860 Munich. After the end of the Bundesliga season, the goalkeeper belonged to a HSV delegation who, among other things, managed a 2-0 win against Liverpool on May 24 in New York on a trip to the USA.

The time of success was over now. In the next three rounds, the former player from Langenhorn TSV was still the undisputed number one goal of HSV, but the "Rautträger" could not establish themselves in the top group in contrast to the Oberliga era in the Bundesliga. Despite the additions of Willi Schulz , Egon Horst and Manfred Pohlschmidt for the 1965/66 season, it was only enough to finish ninth in the 1966 World Cup. Schnoor had played in 31 league games and his representative Erhard Schwerin had represented him in the three remaining games. If HSV had a good start into the 1966/67 season with goalkeeper Schnoor with 6: 2 points after four match days, at the end of the round at Rothenbaum they were happy, with a 2-1 home win against relegated Fortuna Düsseldorf the season with 30:38 points to have finished in the saving 14th place. Schnoor was represented by Schwerin in ten of 34 league games. After a metatarsal fracture in 1964 and a cheekbone fracture in 1965, he tore a muscle fiber in the second round replay on February 15, 1967 against 1. FC Köln (2-0), so that Schwerin was also his representative in the quarter-finals (Kickers Offenbach; 2 games ) and semi-finals in the 3-1 win against Alemannia Aachen. At the cup final on June 10, 1967 in Stuttgart against FC Bayern Munich, Schnoor again guarded the HSV goal. But he had no chance in the 4-0 success of the team around Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller and also suffered a torn Achilles tendon. After the operation, the tendon in the swimming pool tore for the second time and he was operated on again. He was 33 years old and the future of sport was uncertain. Under these signs, HSV signed Özcan Arkoç for the 1967/68 season and the goalkeeper from 1952 to 1967 never returned to the HSV goal. In the summer of 1969 he finally ended his sporting career after a last valid "honorary contract" after a total of 507 competitive matches for HSV.

Selection games

Schnoor never played a game for the German senior team . On August 3, 1960, he was part of the international match in Reykjavík against Iceland to the squad, but did not play. National coach Sepp Herberger relied on Hans Tilkowski in goal. In the two friendly matches following the international match against the Icelandic club teams Akranes and KR Reykjavík, however, he was in goal. In the international match on March 8, 1961 in Frankfurt am Main against Belgium (1-0), he had to make do with the substitute bench. When the national coach completed an international match against the upcoming hosts of the 1962 World Cup in Chile on March 26, 1961 in Santiago, Schnoor was again a substitute goalkeeper. On December 13, 1961, he guarded the goal of his club team in the HSV test match against the national team in the 4-3 win against the Herberger protégés. In April 1962 after the international match against Uruguay, the DFB announced its 40th squad for the World Cup. Wolfgang Fahrian , Hans Tilkowski, Günter Sawitzki , Fritz Ewert , Horst Kirsch and Günter Bernard were reported to the goalkeepers . Horst Schnoor was no longer a member of the national team.

In 1955 and 1959 he played a game in the national B team against Yugoslavia and Hungary and in 1956 he played a junior international against Belgium . With the selection of North Germany ( NFV ), he ran from 1957 to 1965 in six representative games against South Germany, South West Germany, North Holland, West Germany and twice against Jutland.

He was listed in the rankings of the trade journal Kicker from summer 1957 to winter 1961/62. He got the best placement for the first half of 1961 when he was listed in the "International Class" category.

successes

In addition, Schnoor was in the semi-finals of the European Cup in 1961 . There he failed with HSV in three games at FC Barcelona .

job

After the end of his career he worked as a motor vehicle salesman and owned a dry cleaning facility in the Herold Center in Norderstedt. Rheumatism gradually prevented all sports activities. The father of two ran his cleaning business until 1988. Of his 15 years at HSV, his wife Gerda created almost twenty volumes in book form to remember.

There is no relationship with the future Hamburg player Stefan Schnoor .
