Maurice "Mucki" Banach (born October 9, 1967 in Munster , † November 17, 1991 near Remscheid ) was a German football player . The son of a German and an American soldier was considered one of the most promising forward striker talents of the late 1980s and early 1990s in Germany.

Club career

Banach played for Preußen Münster up to the C-youth and then moved to the B-youth of Borussia Dortmund . In Dortmund he received his first professional contract at the age of 17. Until 1988 he made 14 Bundesliga appearances for BVB and scored two goals. Since he was unable to make a breakthrough at BVB, he moved to the second division SG Wattenscheid 09 in the summer of 1988 , where he was the top scorer with 21 goals in the 1989/1990 season .

Then Banach moved to 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga . In 49 games for Cologne, he scored 24 goals. The striker scored his last two goals on November 9, 1991 in the Müngersdorfer Stadium at home in a 4-1 win over Fortuna Düsseldorf , and a week later he played the last game of his professional career away from FC Schalke 04 . After Banach had agreed not to return to Cologne with the team after the game, but to stay in his hometown of Munster, he set off for training the next morning.

Accidental death

On the morning of November 17, 1991, Banach had a fatal accident on the A1 near Remscheid near the Remscheid-Lüttringhausen junction. His car came off the pavement, hit a bridge pillar, and went up in flames. Banach was presumably dead instantly and burned to death in his vehicle. Excessive speed was assumed to be the possible cause of the accident. However, the exact circumstances of the accident could never be fully clarified. His grave is in the central cemetery in Münster . The upcoming Bundesliga match against Dynamo Dresden was canceled by 1. FC Köln and made up for on December 10, 1991. At the international match of the German team three days later in Brussels against Belgium (1-0), a minute's silence was kept for Banach.
