Manfred "Manni" Burgsmüller (born December 22, 1949 in Essen ; † May 18, 2019 there ) was a German football player . The striker played 447 games for Rot-Weiss Essen , Borussia Dortmund , 1. FC Nürnberg and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga between 1969 and 1990 . After his football career, he played American football as a foosball table for six years .

Career

With his 213 goals, he is number 5 on the all-time Bundesliga goalscorer list . The 135 Bundesliga goals for Borussia Dortmund are still a club record today. He has been among the top ten goalscorers in the league since 1974 (twice in second place: 1980/81 with 27 goals and 1981/82 with 22 goals), but he was never the top scorer in the Bundesliga .

Burgsmüller played in the national team three times from 1977 to 1978.

When Burgsmüller moved from 1. FC Nürnberg to Rot-Weiß Oberhausen in the 2. Bundesliga in 1984 , the Bundesliga career of the then 34-year-old seemed to be over. The following season he was top scorer in the second division with 29 goals. At the end of 1985 Otto Rehhagel brought the almost 36-year-old back to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. Burgsmüller won his first title with Werder in 1988 at the age of 38 and became German champion . In 1989 and 1990 he reached the final of the DFB Cup with Werder .

After his active career as a football player, he became a table footballer at Rhein Fire from 1996 to 2002, making him the oldest active football professional in the world at the age of 52. With the team he played first in the World League of American Football and then in the NFL Europe , scoring over 300 points. With two titles won and several runner-up championships, he can definitely keep up with his “successor” as a two-man athlete, Axel Kruse , who scored fewer points. In 2000 he was divorced from his wife after 18 years of marriage. In 2004 he was supposed to build a football team for the NFL Europe at FC Schalke 04 in order to better utilize the capacity of the AufSchalke arena . However, these plans were discarded in 2004 due to low attendance at the Rhein Fire games in the AufSchalke arena.

In the 2004/05 season, Burgsmüller tried in vain as a manager to save SSV Hacheney (Dortmund) from relegation. The project was marketed by the documentary program Helden der Kreisklasse on the TV station Kabel Eins . From 2004 he was a partner in a sports clothing chain and then tried his hand at sports marketing. Burgsmüller suffered from osteoarthritis in his feet and had to use a walking stick.

Manfred Burgsmüller died on May 18, 2019 in his apartment in Essen. He left three daughters.
