Others

A Nuremberg newspaper wrote about the tall high school student in 1912: “A giant of stature, he was the embodiment of fair play. In the most persistent battles Steinlein never lost his calm reflection. He not only mastered the game, but also himself. " An episode from the final round of the championship in the Ostkreis at local rivals SpVgg Fürth in 1910 contradicts this image. In the course of the game, Steinlein rammed his elbow into the stomach of his Fürth opponent in such a way that he passed out. When the Fürth audience then gave him shouts of “ugh”, Steinlein provoked the crowd with the exclamation: “You rascals!” . After the subsequent riots by the audience, the club won the game 2-1, but the Fürth protest for a replay was allowed. However, the club was able to win this again with a 5-0 win.
