Soccer career

offspring

Burow began his career as a football player with the company sports association (BSG) unit in the Thuringian drive . At the age of 13 the BSG delegated him to the football focus of the region, the FC Carl Zeiss Jena. There he went through the usual youth teams up to the junior league . In the summer of 1977 Burow was appointed to the squad of the GDR junior national team and played his first international junior match as an inside striker on October 7, 1977. This was followed by three more international matches by May 1979. Then Burow moved up to the junior national team, for which he also played four international matches as a striker in October 1980.

Oberliga

FC Carl Zeiss Jena

Burow made his debut in the GDR league at the age of 18. On May 23, 1979 he was substituted on in the encounter of the 23rd match day of the 1978/79 season Union Berlin - FC Carl Zeiss (0: 1) in the 74th minute. In this season he was nominally a player in the junior league team, only for the 1979/80 season he was officially taken over into the first team. The 1.80 m tall Burow only achieved his breakthrough as a regular player in the 1982/83 season. Until then, he had only played 20 league games in the past four seasons. 1982/83 he came on 24 first division appearances, in which he was used alternately as a center forward or left winger. With his six goals he was one of the most dangerous players in Jena. In 1983/84 he was able to increase his stake rate with 25 league games again and came back to six point game goals. After that, his performance curve fell, and Burow increasingly tended to be a substitute. In 1987/88 he had reached his absolute low at FC Carl Zeiss, in his 20 league appearances he was only seven times in the starting eleven. Also in the cup final on June 4, 1988, which Jena lost 2-0 to FC Dynamo from Berlin, he was only a substitute and was only substituted on in extra time in the 110th minute.

BSG Energie Cottbus

Because of this development, the GDR Football Association approved the move to the upper division BSG Energie Cottbus in the summer of 1988. After a somewhat difficult 1988/89 season with only 14 full-time appearances in 20 completed point games, Burow had another successful season in 1989/90. He played 23 of the 26 games played in the game and was one of the most successful strikers with his five goals. In both seasons Burow was usually used as a right winger. As a 29-year-old Burow began his last first division season in 1990/91. This started for him initially with failures in the first five game days, followed by six regular appearances as a midfielder, followed by six more games in the second half of the season at irregular intervals.

VfL Sindelfingen

With his departure from Cottbus, Burow ended his career as a high-performance player. He settled in southwest Germany and joined VfL Sindelfingen. There he played from 1991 to 1993 in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (at that time the third highest division) and after relegation in 1993 in the Association League . In his two amateur league seasons Burow completed five and nine point games.

Goal of the month

In addition to the success at FC Carl Zeiss Jena with reaching the cup final in 1988 Burow had a special kind of achievement in 1986. At FC Carl Zeiss, Burow was known for his sharply cut free kicks, which sometimes found their goal in the arch around the defensive wall. He also scored such a goal on September 12, 1986 in the game FC Carl Zeiss - Stahl Brandenburg (2-0). This hit was voted goal of the month on West German ARD television . It was the only time that a GDR goalscorer was honored in this way. Burow was only able to receive the medal after the fall of the Wall in 1989 , because in 1986 the GDR authorities refused to allow him to travel to Cologne.
