career

Slavia Prague, until 1969

With the Red-Whites from the Eden Stadium , the champions of 1925, 1929-1931, 1933-1935, 1937 and 1947, Slavia Prague, Karel Nepomucký experienced years of mediocrity in his membership of the league team. Slavia could not win championships in this phase. The return to the first division was successful in the 1964/65 round. In the 1965/66 season his team achieved the best placement with third place, tied with master Dukla Prague . Teammates were Jan Lála and František Veselý , often national players of Czechoslovakia. The midfield technician personally received two awards in 1964: He made his debut on May 17 in Prague in the international match against Yugoslavia in the national team. Under coach Václav Jíra , he was active in midfield in a 3-2 defeat at the side of teammates such as Ján Geleta , Vojtech Masny and Frantisek Valosek . In October he was on the squad at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo ; the Czechoslovak team won the silver medal there under coach Rudolf Vytlačil . In the 1968/69 season he had played games in the Messestädte-Pokal with Slavia . In the first round they prevailed against the Wiener Sport-Club , where he contributed two goals in the 5-0 home win. In the second round, Hamburger SV narrowly prevailed with a 4-1 home win against a 1: 3 away defeat. At the age of 30 he signed a contract with the south-west German regional league team of SV Alsenborn for the 1969/70 round and moved from Prague to the Palatinate .

SV Alsenborn, 1969 to 1974

In Alsenborn, the captain of the 1954 world championship team, Fritz Walter , allowed himself to be persuaded to take on a "supervisory and advisory role" at the local SVA in his new residence. The "Dorfmannschaft" rose annually from 1963 to 1965 from the A-Class West Palatinate, via the 2nd Amateur League West Palatinate and 1st Amateur League Southwest , up to the 1965/66 season in the Regionalliga Southwest. In the third regional league season 1967/68 the SVA succeeded for the first time in winning the championship and entering the promotion round to the Bundesliga .

In his first round in Alsenborn, 1969/70 , Nepomucký came under the new coach Heiner Ueberle as the successor to playmaker and goalscorer Lorenz Horr to 25 missions in which he scored eleven goals. He made his debut on August 10, 1969 in a 2-1 away win against FC Homburg in the Regionalliga. The Horr successor scored the 2-1 winner. The SVA won the third championship in a row. In the promotion round, the man from Prague played six missions with one goal against Arminia Bielefeld , Tennis Borussia Berlin , VfL Osnabrück and Karlsruher SC . From 1969/70 to 1973/74 he belonged to the regular line-up in Alsenborn with a total of 116 league appearances in five rounds with 27 goals. In the 1971/72 season , with third place under coach Horst Kunzmann, the renewed entry into the Bundesliga promotion round was just missed. In his fifth season at SV Alsenborn, 1973/74, he was under coach Werner Mangold again in 26 round games in which he scored three goals when he reached 10th rank. At the side of teammates such as Franz Schwarzwälder (goalkeeper), Walter Frosch , Werner Kadel , Ernst Hodel and Gerd Schwickert , he ended the era of the second-rate regional league in the summer of 1974. The athletically qualified Alsenborn was ultimately not accepted into the new 2nd Bundesliga for economic reasons , and so the high-class career of the former Czechoslovak national soccer player ended after the 1973/74 season.
