Joachim Walter (soccer player)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Joachim Walter (born October 23, 1940 ) was a football player in the GDR Oberliga , in which he was responsible for the SC construction / 1. FC Magdeburg played. He won the GDR soccer cup three times and is a four-time young national player.

Walter's football career began in 1947 in Burg near Magdeburg , where he played with BSG Lokomotive until 1954 and with BSG Einheit Burg until 1959 . Then he was delegated as a talented attacking player to the football focus of the region, the SC Aufbau Magdeburg. The Magdeburg team had just been promoted to the top league of the GDR football league and immediately put 19-year-old Walter in the first game of the 1960 season. After mixed placements, the Magdeburg team won their first title at the end of the 1963/64 season by winning the GDR Cup. In the 3-2 victory over SC Leipzig on June 13, 1964 , Walter, as a right winger, scored the goals to 1: 2 and 2: 2 and thus gave the game the decisive turn to victory. The same thing happened a year later. Once again the SC structure had reached the cup final, and again it was Walter, this time a center forward, who initiated the second Magdeburg Cup victory with a 2-1 win over SC Motor Jena with his 1-1 equalizer . The 1965/66 season, however, ended with a disappointment, because the now founded 1. FC Magdeburg had to be relegated from the league as bottom of the table. Joachim Walter played with the FCM, however, only one year in the second-rate GDR league (13 games / 4 goals), because the Bördestädtern managed to immediately rise again. After a surprisingly good third place for a newcomer in the top division season 1967/68, 1. FC Magdeburg won its third cup in 1969. In his third cup final on June 1, 1969, Walter signed on as a goal scorer, this time giving the Magdeburg team the security they needed to beat FC Karl-Marx-Stadt 4-0 with his 2-0 win .

After Walter had already played four international games in the GDR youth team between 1959 and 1962, the Magdeburg Club's European Cup games offered him further international appearances. With the three cup victories, the Magdeburg team had qualified for the competitions for the European Cup Winners' Cup. During Walter's active time there were completed thirteen games between 1964 and 1969, in which Walter was only absent in the quarterfinal first leg encounter West Ham United - 1. FCM on March 2, 1966. In the second leg of the quarterfinals he took the lead 1-0, but after the 1-1 final and the 0-1 defeat in the first leg, the Magdeburg team were eliminated. The 0-2 defeat in the second leg of the second leg of the Cup Winners Cup 1969/70 against Académica de Coimbra was Walter's last European appearance.

Joachim Walter stayed with 1. FC Magdeburg until the end of the 1969/70 season. After ten seasons for SC development and for 1. FC Magdeburg, he had completed 278 competitive games: 228 league games, 13 games in the GDR league, 25 national and 12 international cup appearances. Walter scored a total of 85 competitive goals, his four goals in finals in the FDGB Cup mean a record that he holds together with the Jena star striker Peter Ducke .
