Horst Wruck (born June 18, 1946 ) is a German former football player .

Career

The offensive player Horst Wruck, whose brother Wolfgang Wruck was also active as a soccer player for 1. FC Union Berlin , started at ASK Vorwärts Berlin when he was eleven. As a teenager he was appointed to the GDR junior national team, with which he played four games. He later made 14 appearances in the youth national team. In the GDR Oberliga, the top division in GDR football, he made his debut on the penultimate match day of the 1965/66 season for FC Vorwärts Berlin, which had emerged from ASK Vorwärts Berlin just a few months earlier . On the last matchday of the season, the only 19-year-old Wruck played again for the Berlin team, who, as second in the table, defeated the leaders FC Carl Zeiss Jena with 2-0 and thus - as in the previous year - won the GDR championship.

In his second season for Vorwärts Berlin 1966/67 , Wruck was one of the top performers of his team with nine goals scored in 22 completed games, which after the successes of previous years only finished eighth in the final table. In the 1966/67 European Cup , FC Vorwärts, who previously had to play two qualifying games, failed in the first round against Polish champions Górnik Zabrze .

The again disappointing fourth place in the 1967/68 season was followed by the sixth Berlin championship in the 1968/69 season , which meant his second title win for Wruck, to which he had contributed with two goals in 23 inserts. As a result, Wruck recommended himself for the GDR national team , for which he played his only appearance on June 22, 1969 against Chile (0: 1) as a right midfielder.

After FC Vorwärts had qualified for the European Cup in 1969/70 by winning the championship , the club advanced there to the quarter-finals, where Wruck and his team were defeated by the Dutch representative Feyenoord Rotterdam . In the 1969/70 FDGB Cup , Vorwärts even reached the final, in which Wruck scored the interim 2-0 for his team in a 4-2 win over 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig . The major league 1969/70 , however, dominated the FC Carl Zeiss Jena , so that the FCV had to be content with second place in the championship.

The 1970/71 season , in which Vorwärts only finished seventh, but made it to the quarter-finals against PSV Eindhoven in the 1970/71 European Cup , was Wruck's last season in East Berlin. After a total of 113 league appearances and 18 championship goals as well as 16 European Cup games with two goals for FC Vorwärts Berlin, Wruck and his teammates were delegated to Frankfurt (Oder) , where the previous capital city club from then on played as FC Vorwärts Frankfurt .

The FC Vorwärts could no longer build on the successes from its Berlin times. Final placements in the middle of the league between 1971/72 and 1974/75 indicated the slow decline of the former top club, which from 1975/76 finally found itself in the permanent relegation battle. Although FCV reached the final against Lok Leipzig in the 1975/76 FDGB Cup with Wruck as the left winger, they had no chance in the 3-0 defeat. In the league season 1976/77 relegation could only be prevented thanks to the better goal difference compared to the relegated BSG Stahl Riesa with the same points , in 1977/78 the club finally rose as the penultimate of the league in the GDR league . Wruck then ended his active career at the age of 32. After the delegation to Frankfurt (Oder) he had completed another 150 games in the league and scored 18 goals in these again, so that he had played a total of 263 league appearances (36 goals) for FC Vorwärts.
