Otto Fräßdorf (born February 5, 1942 in Magdeburg ) is a former German soccer player. In the top division of GDR football , the Oberliga , he played for FC Vorwärts Berlin . The offensive full-back made 33 international matches with the GDR national team . He made his debut in 1963 in four different DFV national teams .
Athletic career
BSG and club stations
Fräßdorf learned the football ABC from 1954 at BSG Motor Nord Magdeburg, which after a merger with BSG Motor Neustadt from February 1957 as BSG TuS Motor Neustadt and after another merger with BSG Progress from November of this year as BSG TuS Progress Magdeburg ran up. He had already had first ball contacts in the school team of the August-Bebel-Schule in Magdeburg's Rothensee district.
After completing his apprenticeship as a shipbuilder, he volunteered for the National People's Army in 1960 and, after a talent inspection by Kurt Vorauf , who had received a letter from Fräßdorf's Magdeburg trainer pointing out the skills of the player, to the reigning GDR master ASK Vorwärts Berlin , the later FC Vorwärts Berlin . Otto Fräßdorf won the GDR championship four times with the football club of the forward army sports association .
After playing in the ASK reserve team, the 1.74 meter tall Fräßdorf played his first league game for the Berlin army team on November 12, 1961 in the game against SC Rotation Leipzig (1: 1). On June 13, 1970 he was in the forward team, which won the FDGB Cup of the 1969/70 season with a 4-2 victory over 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig .
When Fräßdorf had to end his active career in 1971 due to a complicated back injury, he had played 183 league point games for forward and scored 31 goals. In the European Cup he was used 21 times and scored five goals.
Selection bets
For his first international assignment Fräßdorf came on May 12, 1963 in the game of the GDR youth team against Romania, in which he scored the 1-1 goal for the GDR.
As early as September 4, 1963, at the age of 21, he played his first A international match in the encounter between the GDR and Bulgaria , which also ended 1: 1 in his home town of Magdeburg. Fräßdorf was used as a center forward on his debut. However, he played the majority of his 33 A-internationals until 1970 on the right wing. Fräßdorf had a regular position as a full-back in the mid-1960s, but he did not lose his offensive urge and was cheered on frenetically by the spectators during his assaults. There are four goals on his A international account.
From September 1963 to April 1968 Fräßdorf completed 18 games in the GDR's Olympic team and scored six goals there. In October 1964 he was in Tokyo in the East German team that won the bronze medal at the Olympic soccer tournament . The forward player played in this success, which was achieved under the all-German Olympic flag , in all qualifying and final round games.
Further career
After the end of his active career, Fräßdorf worked as a football coach. Initially in the junior division of the Army Football Training Center in Strausberg and later, among other things, from 1978 to 1984 at the second division club ASG Vorwärts Dessau .
After reunification Otto Fräßdorf worked as a taxi driver in Berlin and after retiring from football he was mainly active as a volleyball player.
