The half-forward came to Hannover 96 from Saxonia Hameln in 1937 . He played for 96 from 1937 to spring 1947 and from 1950 to 1953. There he had his greatest sporting moment in 1938, when he won the championship in the Lower Saxony Gauliga with Hannover 96 and then with FC Schalke 04 in the final of the German championship 4: 3 a. V. defeated in the replay and thus the Lower Saxony became German champions for the first time. In the two finals for the German championship in 1938 and 1941, Pöhler played a total of 13 games and scored seven goals.

"Eugen" Pöhler, as he was called for an unknown reason, left 96 in the spring of 1947, played at Hameln 07 and the subsequent fusion club Prussia 07 . With SpVgg 07 Hameln he won the 1948/49 Lower Saxony championship in the association league, Staffel Hildesheim, with 33: 7 points ahead of TSG Osterode and local rivals Prussia Hameln. In qualifying for the league promotion round north, he failed with the game association. In the second attempt, in 1949/50, now with the fusion club SpVgg Preußen 07 Hameln, it was enough in the newly introduced amateur Oberliga West behind Oberliga Nord promoted Eintracht Osnabrück to the runner-up, but again not to the league promotion.

At the age of 34 he accepted the contract offer from Hanover and returned to his old club in 1950, where he was the highest-paid contract player . On August 28, 1950, the national player of the year 1939 made his debut in a 0-1 away defeat at Bremerhaven 93 in the Oberliga Nord . At the end of the round, he had only missed three games (17 league) and scored five goals at the side of teammates like Willi Hundertmark , Hans Tkotz , Heinz Wewetzer and striker Erich Loth (20 goals). In his second league season, 1951/52, he ran in all 30 league games for the "Reds". From 1950 to 1953 he came for the "96" in 77 games in the Oberliga Nord for use in which he scored 11 goals. On April 19, 1953, the 37-year-old played his last league game in a 3: 3 home draw against Hamburger SV. With Wewetzer, Rolf Paetz , Tkotz and Wolfgang Piechotta , he again formed the attack on the half-left in the World Cup system used at the time . In 1953 he returned to Prussia Hameln , where he worked until 1958.

Until the 1960s, he was the last 47-year-old player-coach at Rasensport Harburg in the Hamburg amateur league . In 1964 he led Harburg as a coach in the Regionalliga Nord.

Selection teams

The small, manoeuvrable and extremely powerful half-striker convinced the Lower Saxony team at the soccer tournament during the German Gymnastics and Sports Festival in 1938 in Breslau. He scored both goals in the 2-0 win against Saxony, which was prominently represented by Willibald Kress , Walter Rose , Helmut Schubert , Erich Hänel and Willi Arlt . In the 3-1 win against Brandenburg, he again distinguished himself as a two-time goalscorer. The semifinals were won 4-1 against the southwest, only in the final failed Lower Saxony in Breslau with 1: 4 against the selection of Ostmark . Pöhler formed the left wing with left winger Matthias Heidemann .

On September 5, 1938, two months after winning the German championship title, the half-forward from Hannover 96 took part in a test match of the German national team in Berlin. Reich trainer Sepp Herberger had an A against a B selection. The test ended 1: 1 and Pöhler formed the right wing of the B-selection with teammate Edmund Malecki .

In January 1939 he played his first and only international match against Luxembourg . The game was lost for the German team 1: 2. It was in itself a "B international match", because at the same time there was an A selection in Florence against Italy (2: 3) and there the players Ernst Lehner , Wilhelm Hahnemann , Josef Gauchel , Helmut Schön and Johann Pesser ran for Germany on.
