Player career

societies

Pöttinger, who stood out for his technique, made his debut in the first team of FC Bayern Munich on July 27, 1920 at the age of 17 , after scoring two goals in two friendly matches the previous season. With Bayern he reached the final of the South German Cup on June 17, 1923 , but it was lost on the MTV pitch on Marbachstraße against SpVgg Fürth 3: 4.

His ball skill and mobility did not protect him sufficiently against the physical attacks of the opposing defenders. From the beginning of his career he therefore had to struggle with injuries and only made his breakthrough at the age of 23 in the 1925/26 season. Pöttinger contributed 57 goals to winning the 1926 South German championship for FC Bayern Munich. With FC Bayern Munich he moved into the finals for the German championship in 1926 , 1928 and 1929 . In 1928, after the renewed South German championship , Pöttinger and his teammates from FC Bayern Munich reached the semi-finals via Wacker Halle and SpVgg Sülz 07 . There, however, Hamburger SV clearly prevailed 8-2 against Munich and also won the championship confidently against Hertha BSC . Pöttinger scored as many goals in six finals. Years of knee problems and a broken shin forced him to end his playing career early in 1931. As a result, he fared like “Wiggerl” Hofmann and “Mile” Kutterer: They were no longer able to take part in the biggest triumph of FC Bayern Munich. The defensive routes Haringer , Heidkamp and Goldbrunner fought to win the German championship in 1932 and Bergmaier and Rohr acted in the storm . Kirn / Natan noted: “Delicate center forward from Seiderer's style . Chamberlain of football. His templates came over the lawn like the balls over the pool cloth. "

Selection / national team

Pottinger took the national team of South German Football Association at the final of the fighting game Cup as part of from 4 to 11 July 1926 discharged in Cologne Fighting part. After he had previously played in the quarter-final match against the selection team of the Association of Central German Ball Game Clubs on March 28, 1926 , he also played the semi-final game, won 4-2 in Essen on July 3, 1926 against the selection team of the North German Football Association , where he scored a goal.

On July 4, 1926 he won the final , in which he scored three goals in the 7-2 success of the selection team of the South German Football Association (with club members Franz Dietl , Emil Kutterer and Ludwig Hofmann ) against the selection team of the West German Game Association .

The first two missions in the senior national team he played in 1926 on half left, as a link between club teammate "Wiggerl" Hofmann on left wing and Otto Harder in the center forward position. From 1927 he replaced "Tull" Harder in the Sturmspitze. After his debut with three goals on April 18, 1926 in Düsseldorf in a 4-2 win against the Netherlands , the local sports press reported that the newcomer Pöttinger was "dreaming". During the Olympic football tournament in Amsterdam in 1928 , he played the two games against the selection of Switzerland and that of the eventual Olympic champion Uruguay . On February 10, 1929, he led the DFB -Elf as captain in the 7-1 victory against Switzerland in Mannheim . In the 3-3 draw against England on May 10, 1930 in Berlin , the three Bayern strikers Bergmaier, Hofmann and Pöttinger, together with Ernst Kuzorra and three-time goalscorer Richard Hofmann, formed the attack of coach Otto Nerz's team . His international career as a playing center forward, who was able to stage his teammates again and again, ended with the 14th mission. Karl Hohmann from VfL Benrath successfully followed him over the next few years.
