Manfred "Manni" Pohlschmidt (born August 27, 1940 in Münster ) is a former German football player . He played as a striker for Preußen Münster , Hamburger SV and FC Schalke 04 185 times in the Bundesliga .

life and career

Pohlschmidt played in his youth at RSV Münster before he moved to city rivals SC Preußen in 1961 . The two-footed striker played with the Prussians in the Oberliga West . He came to 30 goals in all 60 league games.

Also in the 1963/64 he was part of the regular Prussian squad in the first season of the Bundesliga. On the first day of the match he provided the template for Falk Dörrs 1-0 in a 1-1 draw against Hamburger SV ; He scored his first Bundesliga goal on matchday 7 with a header to make it 1-0 in a match against Borussia Dortmund , which was nevertheless lost 2-1. He scored a goal in the penultimate game of the season at Werder Bremen to equalize 1-1, but the 2-4 defeat sealed the relegation of the Prussians. In the last game of the season, Pohlschmidt scored two goals in a 4-2 win against Hertha BSC , but the Berliners already had one point more than Münster and held the class. In total, he was used 25 times in the 30 games of the season and scored six goals.

After 24 games and 15 goals for SC Preußen in Regionalliga West , the striker moved back to the Bundesliga for Hamburger SV in 1965 . In Hamburg he became a goal getter in the 1965/66 season and scored the most goals for his team with 18 goals in 29 games. In the following season , however, he was able to score only two goals in 26 Bundesliga games, as many as in the DFB Cup , in which he was successful in the first round against Altona 93 and in the semifinals against Alemannia Aachen ; In the final, HSV lost 4-0 to Bayern Munich . In the Hamburg “ Schickimicki ” scene, the down-to-earth Münsterlander did not feel particularly comfortable - although he played here with other Westphalians, the ex-Schalke players Willi Schulz and Egon Horst - so that in 1967 he switched to FC Schalke 04 .

In Gelsenkirchen, alongside veteran Horst Blechinger and youngster Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp , he was able to play his way into the main lineup in attack in the first half of the season. He played 30 games in the 1967/68 season , adding three assists to eleven goals. In the following season , the miners under coach Rudi Gutendorf reached seventh place in the league and the DFB Cup final . To achieve the league placement Pohlschmidt contributed five goals; almost as many, four, he scored in the cup competition, including the only goal in the 1: 2 defeat in the final against Bayern Munich. In the following European Cup Winners' Cup , he was used seven times, but scored no goal. He stayed in Gelsenkirchen until 1971 ; on April 17, 1971 he was one of the players who "sold" the 0-1 game against Arminia Bielefeld on the field. In total, he made 185 Bundesliga appearances (52 goals). As a suspect in the Bundesliga scandal , he was sentenced in 1972 to a fine of 2,300 DM and a lifelong ban. In 1978 he was pardoned.

After the 1970/71 season, Pohlschmidt went back to Münster, where he accepted the offer to set up a professional life with a lottery and toto business. He ran this business until 2006. In addition, he played and trained football in smaller clubs. In the 2007/08 season he coached the first women's team of TuS Saxonia Münster, which rose this season with a "walk-through" from the state league to the association league. He then resigned from the coaching position.
