Klaus Zaczyk (born May 25, 1945 in Styria ) is a former German football player .

Klaus Zazcyk was born while his mother was fleeing from Upper Silesia in the basement of an inn in Styria, Austria. His parents came from Ratibor . His father was meanwhile in British captivity. The family stranded in Upper Hesse and found their new home in Sterzhausen near Marburg .

He played in the Bundesliga from 1963 to 1978 , making 400 games and 61 goals. He was used on February 22, 1967 in the national team against Morocco and scored a goal. In 1976 he won the DFB Cup with Hamburger SV and was runner-up in the Bundesliga.

Career

Zaczyk was the youngest player to start the Bundesliga in 1963/64 and the only one born after the end of the war. He started playing football at FSV Sterzhausen. The UEFA -Youth player of VfL Marburg (he graduated in 1963 all five games this national youth team; players in UEFA youth tournament were u a.. Peter Löwer , Josef Weilbächer , Jürgen Rumor , Ferdinand Heidkamp , Helmut Sandmann , Willi Dürrschnabel and Günter Netzer ) was in the summer Moved to Karlsruher SC in 1963 and made his debut on the third match day in the newly created top German division. At the age of 18 (3 months and 13 days) he played in front of a sold out house in the Karlsruhe Wildpark Stadium under floodlights against Hamburger SV with Uwe Seeler and Charly Dörfel . This September 7, 1963 was not supposed to be the high point in the career of the young talent (HSV clearly won 4-0 goals), but it was the start of a very long and successful career in top German football. Zaczyk experienced his best round with the KSC in 1966/67 when he was 13th when he formed a good BL midfield with Horst Wild , Willi Dürrschnabel, Arthur Dobat and Dragoslav Šekularac , scoring five goals in 33 league games. He played 400 Bundesliga games in the Bundesliga from 1963 to 1978 and scored 61 goals. After the descent of Karlsruher SC in 1968, Max Merkel brought him to the reigning champions 1. FC Nürnberg at Noris. Its value for the “club” is underscored by a performance description after the Bundesliga match on October 30, 1968 at Eintracht Braunschweig in the chronicle of the 1960s : “Two duels clearly went to the guests and thus gave the game the decisive direction. Zaczyk never let Ulsaß out of his sight and for his part distributed the balls in the best manner. When Braunschweig later paused for the counter-offensive, it was he who steered the counter-game in clever ways and slowed down the pace whenever it seemed wise. ”The highlight of this season, which was otherwise unfortunate for Nuremberg, was a sensational relegation from the Bundesliga as the defending champion - were the two games in the European Cup against Ajax Amsterdam in September / October 1968.

National coach Helmut Schön called Zaczyk in 1967 for an international match against Morocco in the senior national team , in this, his only game, he also scored a goal. Although he was once again in the senior squad in 1968, he was not used in the World Cup qualifier against Cyprus on November 23, 1968 in Nicosia . On May 7, 1969 Zaczyk played for the German junior team U23 against Austria . On April 23, 1970, the DFB registered him in the FIFA 40 list for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico .

He celebrated his greatest successes as a midfielder at Hamburger SV under coach Kuno Klötzer by winning the DFB Cup in 1976 and the runner-up in the Bundesliga in the same season. The following year he triumphed in the European Cup Winners' Cup against RSC Anderlecht from Belgium . In the final against Anderlecht Zaczyk did not come true for use; in the previous games against Keflavík , Heart of Midlothian , MTK Budapest and Atlético Madrid , however, he had fought for the success of HSV alongside Felix Magath and Manfred Kaltz . Also the 1974 DFB Cup final against Eintracht Frankfurt , which was lost 3-1 after extra time, as well as the games in European competitions from the 1970/71 season with Hamburger SV (initially with Uwe Seeler , Willi Schulz , Gert Dörfel , Jürgen Kurbjuhn and "Bubi" Franz-Josef Hönig ) were highlights of Klaus Zaczyk's long career. At Hamburger SV, the "endurance runner" and "midfield runner" on the right side were considered examples of consistency.

In the player lexicon it is noted about him: “One of the formative midfielders in the young Bundesliga for over a decade. He was a very strong, light-footed, technically very good, game-intelligent and dangerous eighth who gave the game certain structures with precise, calm flat passes, mostly played sideways, but could also move to the center ”.

Completion of the career

After his successful time at the Alster, he returned to Hessen. In 1978 he moved to KSV Hessen Kassel and celebrated promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga there in 1980 . At the age of 37, he finished his career as a professional footballer in 1982. He had played 65 games in the 2nd Bundesliga for Hessen and scored six goals. Then he joined the CSC 03 Kassel in the Hessian amateur league and celebrated there at the age of 40 the runner-up and participation in the German amateur championship. In 1985 he ended his active career there and coached the club in the 1985/86 season.

In smaller Hessian amateur clubs (VfB Bettenhausen, SV Epterode, FC Großalmerode) he was very successful as a player coach until 1992.
