from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Luttrop (born March 1, 1939 in Altenbögge ; † November 21, 2017 in Lugano ) was a German football player and coach . He belonged to the team of TSV 1860 Munich , which played in the 1965 European Cup final against West Ham United . Because of his shooting power he was nicknamed "Atom-Otto".

Player career, 1949 to 1978

Youth and Major League, 1949 to 1963

Luttrop started playing football in the youth department of the former Gauliga club VfL Altenbögge . In the small industrial community at the gates of Hamm , on the north wing of the Wittener Mulde, he and his older brother Günter chased leather in the “Am Rehbusch” stadium . Sporting highlights were the vice championship in 1959 in the amateur league Westphalia, season 1, behind the champions SpVgg Beckum, as well as the games for the West German Cup in 1958/59. In the first round in December 1958 VfB Bottrop was defeated 2-1 goals and on May 9, 1959 the newly crowned Oberliga West champion Westfalia Herne made a guest appearance in Altenbögge-Bönen. In front of 12,000 spectators - the game was played in the Hammer Jahn Stadium - the league champions prevailed in extra time with 5: 3 goals. The 20-year-old Luttrop's offensive qualities caught the eye of Herne coach Fritz Langner so much that he signed him for the Westphalian league team in the 1959/60 season.

In his debut year in the highest league in the west, Luttrop had to struggle with the conversion to the requirements of the high-performance league as well as the significantly increased training intensity under the "Iron Fritz". Coach Langner only used the young talent in ten league games. Mostly Luttrop ran on the position of the left winger, scoring three goals. He played his first game on September 6, 1959 in a 0-0 home game against Meidericher SV . With the runner-up in 1960, Herne entered the final round of the German soccer championship for the second time . From then on, Luttrop was part of the Westfalia regular formation and scored six goals in the seven games. However, the team from Schloss Strünkede could not prevail in the group games against Hamburger SV, Karlsruher SC and Borussia Neunkirchen . Despite the outstanding team-mates Hans Tilkowski , Alfred Pyka , Helmut Benthaus and Gerhard Clement , Luttrop could not repeat the entry into the finals with Herne in the following three seasons. By the end of the league era in 1963, the outside runner had 93 appearances and 24 goals in four seasons. Since Westfalia Herne was not qualified for the newly founded Bundesliga , Lottrop - who also had offers from Borussia Dortmund and Karlsruher SC - decided for the 1963/64 season to switch to TSV 1860 Munich, who was coached by Max Merkel .

Football Bundesliga, 1963 to 1966

Three extremely successful years followed with the “Löwen”. After victories over Borussia Dortmund, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1. FC Saarbrücken and FC Altona 93 in the semi-finals, the “blues” moved into the DFB Cup final on June 13, 1964 in Stuttgart against Eintracht Frankfurt. With a 2-0 victory, the Munich team with the Zeiser , Stemmer and Luttrop runners won the trophy in the Bavarian capital. In the 1963/64 season Luttrop had completed all 30 point games and scored five goals. In the second Bundesliga season the “Löwen” improved to fourth place, the ex-Herner was only missing in one game and repeated his hit rate from the previous year. Outstanding this season were the games in the European Cup Winners' Cup. The team around Petar Radenković and Otto Luttrop qualified for the semi-finals against AC Turin via Union Sportive Luxembourg, FC Porto and Legia Warsaw . In the Stadio Comunale 1860 lost the first leg on April 20, 1965; the attacking Luttrop underwent an own goal in the 41st minute of the game to make it 0-2. A week later, on April 27, Luttrop was the guarantee of victory against the team of coach Nereo Rocco with two goals in the second leg . With a 3-1 home win, the Merkel protégés forced a playoff for a place in the final. On May 5, 1965, Munich won the game against AC Turin with 2-0 goals in Zurich's Letzigrund Stadium. The sniper, who has since been called “Atom-Otto” because of his shooting power, also entered the scorers' list. In the final on May 19 at London's Wembley Stadium against West Ham United in front of 97,974 spectators, manager Ron Greenwood's team prevailed with 2-0 goals. Luttrop turned down a lucrative offer from AC Turin and went into the third Bundesliga season with the Munich team, in which TSV 1860 succeeded in winning the German championship. Luttrop played his part in 22 missions. At the age of 27, after three years with Merkel, he had enough of the Bundesliga, he moved to Ticino to FC Lugano . For 1860 Munich, Luttrop had played 81 Bundesliga games and scored eleven goals in three rounds, plus 15 European Cup appearances with six goals and several DFB Cup games.

Selection appointments, 1961 to 1965

In the junior national team U 23 , Luttrop completed three international matches from 1961 to 1963, each as a right wing runner. For a selection team from the West, he played on March 4, 1962 in Wuppertal against Berlin. In a test match, national coach Helmut Schön used him on September 15, 1964 in Augsburg against a selection from southern Germany in the national team. On March 10, 1965, he convinced the B national team in a 1-1 draw in Hanover against Holland. The runner row of the DFB team was formed by Luttrop, Leo Wilden and Walter Schmidt . Since he was only intended as a reservist by the national coach for the national team's international match against Italy in Hamburg three days later, he let himself be carried away to a careless statement and promptly never received an invitation to the national team. The successes in the European Cup and in the championship did not help either, the 1966 soccer world championship took place without Otto Luttrop.

Football in Switzerland, 1966 to 1978

Luttrop spent seven seasons in Italian-speaking Switzerland at FC Lugano . He made it to the cup final twice with the team, in 1968 he also won the cup, where he also contributed a goal to the 2-1 win against Winterthur. In his eighth season in the NLA, 1973/74 with FC Sion , he achieved his second cup win in Switzerland at the age of 35; He also scored a goal for Sion in the final. After his first foray into the 2nd Bundesliga at 1. FC Mülheim in the 1974/75 season (21 games, 2 goals), another year at FC Luzern followed (1975/76). In 1976/77 he made his second appearance in the 2nd Bundesliga at Union Solingen (23 games) before moving back to Switzerland. At FC Chiasso he ended his playing career in 1977/78 and stayed there until the end of his contract in 1982 as a coach.

Trainer

At SC Zug and FC Lugano, Luttrop worked as a coach until 1985. In the 1986/87 season he accepted the offer of 1. FC Saarbrücken in the 2. Bundesliga, but in May 1987 he was released in Saarland. He then returned to Switzerland and took over the training management at FC Olten in the National League B for the 1987/88 season . In the 1988/89 season Luttrop was coach of FC Winterthur . After retiring from the coaching business, he continued to live in Switzerland as a pensioner.
