Career

FC St. Pauli, 1956–1968

Oberliga Nord, 1956–1963

Ingo Porges grew up in the Hamburg district of Barmbek. With the blue-whites of USC Paloma Hamburg, he went through all youth years and in 1956 moved from Brucknerstrasse to Millerntor to FC St. Pauli. Coach Heinz Hempel used him on the fourth match day of the 1956/57 season in the Oberliga Nord at the away game at Werder Bremen on September 9, 1956 for the first time in the St. Pauli league team. The 18-year-old young player scored both goals to make it 2-1 for Hamburg. At the side of Otmar Sommerfeld , Harald Stender and Harry Wunstorf , Paloma's talent came in his debut round in the Oberliga Nord to 25 games and 12 goals. Up to the 1962/63 season - the last year of the leagues - Ingo Porges recorded 166 league appearances with 17 goals. In sporting terms, he developed in these rounds from a talented striker to the left wing position to the outstanding head of the defense as a center runner . In the seven rounds with Ingo Porges, St. Pauli did not make it into the finals of the German soccer championship , although with "Oschi" Osterhoff and Horst Haecks two extremely successful strikers stormed for the brown-whites. The fourth places in 1957 and from 1960 to 1962 in the Oberliga Nord were the Paulians' best results. The duels between Ingo Porges and the national center forward Uwe Seeler from Hamburger SV were mostly among the highlights of the derbies in these years. The position-related confrontation was also the key to success against HSV in 1960 on February 13th in the 4-1 victory of St. Pauli. Porges had a good left foot; the HSV center forward preferred to use the right leg for ball control, dribbling and shooting on goal. As a result, the St. Pauli captain had good conditions in a duel on the ground to be able to survive. Uwe Seeler scored 36 goals in the north and was a two-time goalscorer in the 3-2 win against 1. FC Köln in the final of the German championship on June 25, 1960 in Frankfurt am Main.

Regionalliga North, 1963–1968

With the nomination of Eintracht Braunschweig as the third representative of the Oberliga Nord for the 1963/64 launching Bundesliga to St. Pauli sat with his captain Ingo Porges from 1963 in the second division of the Northern Regional with their opponents apart. Although they won the first championship in the regional league before Hannover 96 , in the promotion round in 1964 the Hamburgers were relegated to third place by Borussia Neunkirchen and FC Bayern Munich . In the first promotion round game ever on June 6, 1964 in the surprisingly high 0: 4 home defeat against Bayern Munich, Ingo Porges saw Franz Beckenbauer's first appearance in the Bavarian league team in front of 26,000 spectators . One piece of the mosaic for the unsatisfactory sporting round of the ascent from St. Pauli was certainly the year-round evasion to the atmospherically unpopular Volksparkstadion . After failing as North Vice in the qualifying game at SSV Reutlingen 05 in 1965 , they wanted to do better in the third attempt in the promotion round in 1966. The opponents were Rot-Weiss Essen , Schweinfurt 05 and 1. FC Saarbrücken . The Braun-Weißen vom Millerntor won both games against Willi Lippens' team , but the promotion was celebrated by the successors of Helmut Rahn and Bernhard Termath , RW Essen. With an 8: 4 tie, the goal difference of 10: 6 versus 10: 8 goals decided for the West Germans. Ingo Porges St. Pauli had led onto the field in all six games. He completed the missions as a left wing runner. The stopper was Jürgen Weidlandt, who had a strong header and moved to Karlsruher SC after the promotion round to the Bundesliga . In the two following rounds it was no longer enough for the Millerntort team to move into the promotion round to the Bundesliga. In the summer of 1968 Ingo Porges ended his active career at FC St. Pauli Hamburg after 147 appearances in the Regionalliga Nord. In twelve years - including six as team captain, he had played 313 league games for his club.

National team / selection games, 1960–1962

In the Oberliga era, national coach Sepp Herberger used the representative games of the regional selection teams to sift through newcomers and to check the form of his proven candidates for the national team. For the international match on March 23, 1960 in Stuttgart against Chile - host country of the 1962 Soccer World Cup - he had also used this test procedure with the double event on March 19, 1960 in Frankfurt am Main (south against west) and Ludwigshafen (southwest against north) . Ingo Porges played in the defense of the Northern selection and was a future candidate for the national team. Before the next international match against Portugal on April 27, 1960 in Ludwigshafen, the national coach saw non-nominated national team aspirants on April 26 in Karlsruhe in a game between a DFB selection against a South selection. Porges was the left wing runner in the DFB team. The third international match of 1960 was scheduled for May 11 in Düsseldorf against Ireland. Since the final round of the German soccer championship in 1960 was being played at the same time, there was a chance for players who had not made it to the final round with their club teams. Ingo Porges formed the runner row together with Willi Schulz (Union Günnigfeld) and Ferdinand Wenauer (1. FC Nürnberg). The game was lost with 0-1 goals from Germany. Before the start of the association games in the major leagues of the 1960/61 season, the DFB made a trip to Iceland with the national soccer team. On August 3, 1960, the international match against Iceland took place in Reykjavík. Sepp Herberger's team won 5-0 goals. In the runner series he played with Willi Schulz, Herbert Erhardt and Horst Szymaniak . The trip to Iceland was rounded off with two friendly matches between the DFB team and Icelandic club teams. Ingo Porges was used in both games. On December 18, 1960, he was again put to the test as a middle runner in the north selection at 1: 1 in Hanover against the west. In 1961 Ingo Porges was used in three games of the junior national team. His performance in the 1-0 win on September 20, 1961 in Odense against Denmark, when he was the backbone of the defensive as captain and center runner, had left an impression on the national coach. At the World Cup qualifier on October 22, 1961 in Augsburg against Greece, he was a member of the national team. In the 2-1 victory, Sepp Herberger already had his full defense in action for the 1962 World Cup in Chile, only the Italian legionnaire Horst Szymaniak was represented by Willi Giesemann . In April 1962, the DFB reported to FIFA that they were forty for the 1962 World Cup with Ingo Porges. In the end, he was not a member of the 22 squad. After the World Cup in Chile, he was no longer a member of the DFB team, but played a total of 13 matches with the North German (NFV) selection.

job

In 1962 Ingo Porges started his own business as a businessman with the establishment of a fuel trade in Hamburg-Billstedt . From the mid-1970s he ran a warehouse and mail order business with sporting goods, with a focus on tennis court accessories and indoor tennis courts.
