Career

At the age of 16, the young player Josef Weiß joined the youth department of FC Bayern Munich in 1968 from TSV Nandlstadt in the Freising district , for whom he had played for eight years . The 1.80 m tall defender moved from the amateur team to the professional team for the 1974/75 season . In addition, Richard Mamajewski , Franz Michelberger and Günther Weiß received license player contracts from the Bayern youth team . In addition to these club's own perspective players, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge from Borussia Lippstadt and Klaus Wunder from MSV Duisburg came to Munich for the attack by the 1974 European Cup winner . The trained banker Josef Weiß was only employed under Dettmar Cramer , the successor to Udo Lattek , who was released on January 2, 1975 . On February 15, 1975 (20th match day) White made his debut in a 1-1 draw in the home game against VfB Stuttgart when he came on for Franz Roth in the 46th minute . In his first season he played ten times in the second half of the season - at the end of the season he finished 10th in the table with Bayern. The highlight of his career should have been the two appearances in the European Cup , when he won the semi-final second leg , in the 2-0 win against AS St. Etienne and in the final on May 28, 1975 in Paris against Leeds United for the defending champion was used. In Paris he was substituted on in the 4th minute for the injured Björn Andersson in the 2-0 win and thus belonged to the Bayern defense, which has the largest share in the title defense against the Leeds offensive to Billy Bremner , Allan Clarke , Joe Jordan and Peter Lorimer .

In the following season, White completed 14 Bundesliga games and thus contributed to third place in the championship. Coach Cramer also built on the defensive player in the semi-final replay of the DFB Cup , which was lost 1-0 to Hamburger SV on June 1, 1976 . In his third Bundesliga season, 1976/77 , he played another eleven point games. On December 21, 1976 he was part of the team that won the second leg of the World Cup in front of 117,000 spectators in Belo Horizonte with a goalless draw against Cruzeiro . FC Bayern Munich played in midfield with the line-up of J. Weiß, Kapellmann, Torstensson and Rummenigge. When he played on September 24, 1977 (9th matchday), in a 7-1 win in the home game against FC Schalke 04 , the “Bundesliga chapter” ended for him. In his last Bundesliga game he was sent off with a red card in the 86th minute and was no longer given a chance under coach Gyula Lóránt - the Hungarian took over Bayern Munich from December 2, 1977. Between 1974 and 1978, Weiß played 37 Bundesliga, four DFB Cup, five European Cup and one World Cup games at Bayern Munich.

For the 1978/79 season white received a contract with the second division club FV 04 Würzburg . In terms of sport, there were two turbulent years with constant coach changes - Rudi Kröner , Josef Becker, Helmut Siebert , Dieter Feldhoff, Heinz Bewersdorf, Helmut Siebert, István Sztani - and relegation after the 1979/80 season . Along with Friedhelm Groppe , Günter Fürhoff and Walter Szaule, he was one of the regulars . White completed 74 second division games for Würzburg from 1978 to 1980 and scored one goal. His only as a professional he scored on May 3, 1980 (37th matchday) in the 1: 2 defeat in the away game against Kickers Offenbach with the opening goal in the 26th minute.

His last position in professional football led white to the 1980/81 season in Upper Franconia to the league rivals SpVgg Bayreuth . With his teammates Manfred Großler , Wolfgang Mahr and Uwe Sommerer , he completed 30 second division games and placed with the game association in the last year of the two-track second division in ninth place in the table. White played his last game on May 30, 1981 (38th matchday) in the 1: 4 defeat in the home game against the Stuttgarter Kickers and ended his footballing career in the summer of 1981.
