career

Association, 1948 to 1970

The student Manfred Martinschledde started his career in club football in 1948 in the youth department of the Hörder SC . In the first few years he was used in the attack with his two-footed ability. But when he was appointed as a goalkeeper in the district selection in the C-youth, his real career as a goalkeeper began. The talent went through all youth classes at Hörder SC and then gained his first experience in the first team in the senior area in the district class of his youth club.

For round 1961/62, at the age of 22, he switched to the amateur champion of 1958, the Hombrucher FV 09 , in the Association League Westphalia, group two , for sporting reasons . The performance-enhancing level of the association league competition from BV Brambauer , SC Dahlhausen , Lüner SV , SSV Hagen , Hasper SV , Dortmunder SC 95 and TuS Eving-Lindenhorst - including experiencing and coping with the intense “derby atmosphere” - quickly brought about the man from Hörde a leap in performance and inclusion in the Westphalia selection for the amateur country cup . With the FV 09 Martinschledde took sixth place in the table in 1962 and 1963. In the second season in Hombruch, 1962/63, he was appointed to the amateur national team for the first time in April 1963. After the fifth place in the association league in 1963/64, the Hombrucher FV faced a personnel change. Older players ended their careers and others changed clubs. The result was relegation in the 1964/65 round; the achievements of the eight-time national team goalkeeper of the DFB amateurs could not change anything. Martinschledde stayed with his move to VfL Hörde in 1965/66 but in the Association League Westphalia and guarded the gate at VfL for two rounds. When Hombruch was promoted to the league again in 1967, Martinschledde returned to the Hombrucher goal after two rounds in Hörde. After another three rounds of association league football, he ended his active career after the 1969/70 season. For the 31-year-old, a meniscus injury and the upcoming master’s examination were also decisive factors.

Amateur national team, 1963 to 1964

DFB coach Helmut Schön put together a new amateur national team in autumn 1962 / spring 1963 with the aim of qualifying for the soccer tournament of the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo . After various sightings and courses, the new team's first international match was due on April 13, 1963. With his five international assignments, Gerhard Neuser was the most experienced of the team. In addition to goalkeeper Martinschledde, Harald Braner , Walter Birkhold , Wilfried Leydecker , Walter Liebich and Wilhelm Zott also made their debut in the field in the 2-1 defeat in Alassio against Italy. The Hombruch goalkeeper was present at the England tournament from May 15th to 22nd with four games, but only as a reservist, Sepp Maier from Bayern Munich guarded the goal of the DFB team in all tournament games on the island. For his second international match, Martinschledde came on June 5, 1963 in Siegen in the 4-0 win against Japan.

At the beginning of the 1963/64 round, the two German-German elimination games for participation in the qualifying games for the 1964 Summer Olympics in September 1963 in Karl-Marx-Stadt and Hanover were scheduled. Helmut Schön and the DFB team moved into a training camp in Hof from September 8th to 14th to prepare for the games against the GDR team. Martinschledde shared the room with Sepp Maier. During the week, Bayern coach Zlatko Čajkovski appeared in the DFB quarter and negotiated with coach Schön about the early departure of his goalkeeper Maier, as he would be needed on September 15 in the regional league game against Kickers Offenbach . Schön gave in to FC Bayern's request, Sepp Maier immediately drove to Munich and Manfred Martinschledde moved into the goal for the two games against the GDR. Both teams won their home games. In front of 50,000 spectators in the Ernst-Thälmann-Stadion in Karl-Marx-Stadt, the better combination game and the individual class of the GDR national soccer team prevailed. The dynamic right wing with Rainer Nachtigall and Jürgen Nöldner could not get the team of Helmut Schön under control. Since Heino Kleiminger and Kurt Liebrecht from left midfield constantly put pressure on the team of coach Károly Sós , the 3-0 success with goals from Kleiminger, Stöcker and Nöldner was well deserved. As the best player of the DFB-Elf Manfred Martinschledde was highlighted in the reporting - consistently in the FRG as well as in the GDR press. The 3-0 success of the GDR in Karl-Marx-Stadt could not be equalized by the 2-1 victory of the DFB amateurs in Hanover and therefore the DFV representation moved into the actual Olympic qualification against Holland and the Soviet Union a.

The DFB amateurs were invited to the pre-Olympic tournament in Tokyo in October 1963, and Manfred Martinschledde and his comrades in the Japanese metropolis experienced impressions that were to have an impressive impact on the future standards of his horizons and worldview. In terms of sport, the games against Japan B, South Vietnam and Japan also won the tournament. Martinschledde played two, his representative in goal, Horst Grunenberg , one game. The particularly strong solidarity and camaraderie of this team was also evident at the international amateur tournament from May 24th to June 2nd, 1964 in Italy, where the goalkeeper from Hombruch guarded the national team's goal in all three tournament matches against France, England and Spain . The journey took place on May 21st to Frankfurt, where on May 22nd the departure from Rhein-Main Airport to Genoa with the Italian airline Alitalia took place. After the 1-1 draw in the final on June 2, 1964 in Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris stadium against Spain, the German team was determined to be the winner by drawing lots. With goalkeeper Martinschledde, defenders Erhard Ahmann and Walter Liebich as well as the runner row Walter Birkhold, Wilhelm Zott and captain Horst Kunzmann, the defensive was the guarantee of success. Martinschledde had played all four international matches of the amateur national team in 1964. With the final on June 2, 1964 in Genoa, his selection career ended after eight official internationals and two "unofficial" ones against the GDR.

Next to the square

Martinschledde, who was characterized by his stoic calm and perfect positional play in the goal and who made his living professionally as a master painter, still lives today (2008) as a sprightly pensioner with family in Dortmund and still maintains friendly contact with old Hombruch football colleagues and the current ones Board of the Hombrucher SV 09/72 . In the temporal distance he also describes the last second of the change to the Bundesliga to FC Schalke 04 for the 1965/66 season, as a result of the coach change from Georg Gawliczek to Fritz Langner , the contract did not come about, without resentment, with serenity and radiating satisfaction about his sporting career.
