Jürgen Bandura (born June 22, 1940 - May 12, 2018 ) was a German football player .

Career

Bandura played from 1964 to 1974 for Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga and played 298 games in which he scored 34 goals. He was until April 21, 2013, when Steven Cherundolo drew level with him in this regard, the sole record player of Lower Saxony in the top German division. In addition, he played for Hanover 22 times in the DFB Cup and completed 14 games in the trade fair cup , in which he scored 2 goals.

After the Bundesliga rise in 1964 took the Hannover 96 striker Westfalia Herne from the Regional League West in his player squad for the first season in the Bundesliga. One relied on his experience in Herne from 1960 to 1964 with a total of 84 games in the regional and upper leagues , in which he scored 21 goals. In fact, the 1964/65 season was a great success for the promoted team led by coach Helmut Kronsbein . They finished 5th right away and impressed with a skillful attack game. Center forward Walter Rodekamp was then even called up to the national team, but also the ball-safe left winger Bandura made a significant contribution to the success with his 26 appearances and the 9 hits he scored.

Hannover 96 was unable to continue this performance in the next few years. Bandura played in Hanover in ten years under ten different coaches, including Tschik Cajkovski , Helmuth Johannsen and Hannes Baldauf , most of whom did not stay longer than a year. Well-known players were also repeatedly committed, including Hans Siemensmeyer , Jupp Heynckes and Josip Skoblar , but the team failed to work their way up to the top of the table. After ten years Hannover 96 had to relegate in 1974.

Jürgen Bandura changed positions several times during his time in Hanover and played both in midfield and in defense as a full-back in the 1970s. He was consistently one of the top performers at Hannover 96. At the end of the 1973/74 season he ended his career as a player.

After his career as a player, Bandura worked in his learned profession as a businessman at the municipal construction company in Hanover. In the 1980s he also worked as a coach at VfV Hildesheim and Stern Misburg before taking over the B-Jugend from Hannover 96, which he brought into the final round of the German championship six times in eight years.

Jürgen Bandura died on May 12, 2018 at the age of 77.
