Athletic career

BSG and club stations

In 1974 Martin Trocha's family moved from Bytom in Poland to the GDR and settled in Jena , Thuringia . Up until then, the then 17-year-old Martin had played football as a junior player for the Polish first division club Szombierki Bytom and after relocating he registered with the current GDR runner-up, FC Carl Zeiss Jena . There, too, the 1.77 meter tall, later regular striker initially played in the junior division before he made his first appearance in the league team as a junior player in February 1976. Before that, he had already become a junior national player and had also completed an apprenticeship as a glass worker.

Trocha had his most successful time in Jena in 1980 and 1981. On May 17, 1980, Trocha was in the final of the GDR soccer cup and won with his team 3-1 over FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt . In the subsequent European Cup Winners' Cup, Trocha played four games in reaching the final, but was not used in the final, which Jena lost 2-1 to Dinamo Tiflis . He played a total of 23 European Cup games for the FCC , in which he scored five goals.

After Trocha had completed 129 league point games for FC Carl Zeiss Jena and scored 20 goals, he was scheduled for the club's second team, which played in the second-rate GDR league , from summer 1984 . But already on the 1st matchday of the 1984/85 season Trocha ran for the FCC II relay competitor BSG Wismut Gera , making his debut for the Geraer against the BSG Sachsenring Zwickau . For the West Saxony, with whose team he returned to the league in the same season, he again gave the start of the second half of the season in February 1985 against his old team from Gera. The league season 1985/86 was neither successful for Sachsenring nor for Trocha. Trocha only played 12 of the 26 point games, and at the end of the season the Zwickau were relegated back to the second division.

The meanwhile converted to midfielder Trocha still played the GDR league season 1986/87 for Sachsenring Zwickau, then he signed up for the league promoted Hallescher FC Chemie . In his first season in Halle he was used in 19 point games and scored three goals. 1988/89 Trocha played his last league season. After he had played 15 more point games without scoring, he finished at the age of 31 after 175 top division games with competitive sport and went to the third-class district league Gera for the BSG Jenaer Glaswerk . There he finally ended his football career in the turning point.

Selection bets

With the GDR junior selection , in which he was used eight times, he took 5th place in the 1975 friendship youth competition in North Korea. From 1978, the Jena striker was appointed to the East German youth team. At the U-21 European Championship in 1980 , which the GDR finished second, he was one of the players called up by association trainer Bernd Stange until the semi-finals , but moved up to the squad of the Olympic selection in the spring of 1980 , so that Trocha in the final against the Soviet Union was no longer used.

In the test match against the USSR on May 7, 1980, which the GDR played with the provisional line-up of the DFV for the 1980 Olympic football tournament in Moscow, he acted as a right striker in Rostock for 58 minutes in a 2-2 draw in his first A- International match with. At the same time, his peers lost the European title in the final second leg in the USSR capital against the Soviet U-21s that day.

In the encounter against Hungary he shot the GDR team in the lead and was instrumental in the 2-0 success.
