Career

"Sepp" Hubeny, who grew up playing football at SK Königinhof from the Trautenau district in the north of Bohemia, came to Bavaria as a result of the Second World War and continued his football career at SV Passau . For the 1947/48 round, the tall, massive and excellent header player joined the red-whites from SSV Jahn Regensburg in the Bavarian State League, group south. Jahn reached the runner-up , one point behind champions and promoted BC Augsburg, whose striker Georg Platzer stood out with 40 goals in this round. In Hubeny's second year at SSV, 1948/49 , he celebrated the championship and promotion to the first-class Oberliga Süd with his teammates and with player-coach Josef "Sepp" Eisenschenk.

With the promoted to the Oberliga Süd, center forward and striker Hubeny made his debut on September 4, 1949 in a 1: 2 home defeat against VfB Stuttgart in the Oberliga. He succeeded the honorary hit "des Jahn" and he completed a total of 23 league games in the 1949/50 season, in which he scored 13 goals. Despite the newcomers of Michael Koller, Adolf "Peter" Niemann, Karl Schamriß and Ludwig Schuller , Jahn was relegated as 15th and had to compete in the new 2nd League South in 1950/51. In the third year, 1952/53 under coach Franz Binder , he achieved championship success and returned to the Oberliga Süd. In the 18-league, Hubeny and colleagues (Heinrich Beyerlein, Georg Gehring, Alfred Popp) prevailed over runner-up Hessen Kassel. The 24 goals of the 31-year-old Jahn striker, who was able to secure the top scorer's crown in the 2nd league south, made a significant contribution to this. As a newcomer, Regensburg reached 6th place with 33:27 points in 1953/54 and Hubeny proved his scoring risk with 15 hits in the top division. Overall, Jahn scored only 42 goals in this round, the relegated Viktoria Aschaffenburg in 16th place with only 19 plus points scored 44 goals. The start went wrong with 0: 6 points in the three opening games against Waldhof Mannheim (0: 5), BC Augsburg (1: 2) and Kickers Stuttgart (1: 3). With a hat trick in the first half in the home game on September 6, 1953 against Viktoria Aschaffenburg, Hubeny provided the first two plus points in the league. In the 0-3 home defeat on January 17, 1954 against 1. FC Nürnberg, 30,000 spectators were in the Jahnstadion . The game at Karlsruher SC caused a lot of fuss in the first half of the season on October 4, 1953: 20 minutes before the end, the Regensburg team led 3-1 when Jahn center forward Sepp Hubeny ran into a corner kick against the hosts' goal, which crashed. Since the goal could not be properly set up again, the game was stopped by the referee. In the second instance, the game was rated 3: 1 for Jahn.

Even in the next two rounds, Hubeny was able to show double-digit hit rates: 14 goals in 1954/55 and 13 goals in 1955/56. As a 36-year-old he tried 1957/58 under coach Béla Sárosi to avert relegation from SSV again in 14 missions with four goals, without success, Regensburg rose as the penultimate in the 2nd League South and Hubeny ended his higher-class career. In six rounds, the goalscorer has played 129 league games for Regensburg and scored 64 goals.

In 2007 Hubeny was elected to the "eleven of the century" of the SSV Regensburg.
