career

Alger spent his childhood and youth in Cologne; first in the Marienburg district , from 1954 in Cologne-Klettenberg . He made his first attempts to gain a foothold in club sports in hockey and field handball before he was able to join the youth department of 1. FC Cologne from February 1957. The trained center forward who was also able to play on both wings, went through four years of promotion in the FC youth and in 1962 was accepted into the first amateur team. The two-footed attacker became a regular player in the Middle Rhine team and won the championship in the Middle Rhine League with the FC amateurs in 1965 and 1967 . On July 15, 1966, Alger became a licensed player at 1. FC Cologne; the contract was dissolved in September 1966 and Alger returned to the FC amateurs. He gave priority to his banking career. When he was able to celebrate the runner-up with the FC amateurs in the 1967/68 season , he was on March 16, 1968 against Borussia Neunkirchen in the 46th minute for Jürgen Jendrossek as a center forward in the attack of the Bundesliga team from coach Willy Multhaup with a 2: 1 home success as a substitute. When 1. FC Köln won the DFB Cup in 1968 , Alger was not used. The striker joined SC Viktoria Köln in the second-class Regionalliga West for the 1968/69 season, but continued to maintain amateur status.

He made his debut in the Regionalliga on August 18, 1968 in a 1-1 away draw against Lüner SV. In addition to team-mates such as goalkeeper Anton Schumacher , Reinhold Wischnowsky , Karl-Heinz Ripkens and FC legend Hans Sturm , he played 27 league games and scored five goals when he finished 16th. In his second regional round in 1969/70 he finished 12th with Viktoria and had scored three goals in 26 league appearances. He returned to the FC amateurs for the 1970/71 season and at the end of the round was again runner-up in the Middle Rhine League behind the reigning German amateur champion SC Jülich in 1910 . Then Alger joined the Bonner SC and immediately became champions in 1971/72 . In the promotion round to the Regionalliga he only reached 3rd place with Bonn.

From 1973 he was a player-coach at DJK Südwest Köln for three years before he was a coach at DJK Teutonia Widdersdorf from 1976 to 1981. Professionally, the practicing Catholic worked for 22 years as a bank personnel manager, after which he held the same position at an aviation company.

During his active time between 1967 and 1970 he played seventeen international matches for the then still existing German amateur national team , in which he scored 4 goals. He made his debut in the DFB team on April 12, 1967 against the Netherlands . The Germans won 4-0, with Alger contributing one goal straight away. Together with his two teammates from the FC amateurs, Helmut Bergfelder and Werner Thelen , he also took part with the DFB amateurs on the international trip to Asia from the end of December 1967 to mid-January 1968, with several international matches.
