Rainer Skrotzki

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rainer Skrotzki (born May 25, 1945 - March 4, 2002 ) was a German football player . The offensive player played 36 league games (2 goals) in the Bundesliga from 1970 to 1972 at Eintracht Braunschweig and 54 league games (8 goals) from 1974 to 1976 at 1. FC Schweinfurt in the 2nd Bundesliga .

career

The young offensive talent came to Neumünster via the stations TSV Klausdorf and SC Comet Kiel . His high-class career began at VfR Neumünster in the 1964/65 season in what was then the second -rate regional football league North . With the team around players like Hartmut Burandt , Manfred Buttgereit , Klaus Kähler , Jürgen Schmahl and Karlheinz Stegelmann , the 19-year-old attacker completed 29 regional league games and scored 13 goals. However, the purple-whites were relegated to the amateur camp as 16th and Skrotzki signed a new contract with the champion of the year 1965 , Holstein Kiel, and therefore remained in the second division of the Regionalliga Nord. In Kiel he experienced two successful rounds from 1965 to 1967, the “Storks” reached 3rd place in both rounds, tied on points with runner-up Göttingen 05. The newcomer from VfR Neumünster made his debut on the start day of the 1965/66 season, August 15 1965, in a 2-1 home win against Bremerhaven 93 under coach Hellmut Meidt on the left wing with defending champion Holstein Kiel in the Regionalliga Nord. The attack by the Kiel team was accompanied by Gerd Koll , Franz-Josef Hönig , Gerd Saborowski , Jürgen Rohweder and Skrotzki. With Rohweder, who moved from Neumünster to KSV in the previous year, Skrotzki formed the left attacking side. The offensive squad of the blue-white-reds also included Otto Hartz and Josef Pistauer . At the end of the round Skrotzki had scored three goals in 26 league appearances. The first game in 1966/67 against VfV Hildesheim was decided by the player, who can be used on both sides of the wing, on August 28, 1966 with a hit to a 1-0 home win under coach Rudi Faßnacht . With Friedemann Paulick , Winfried Schülke and Hans-Joachim Weller , three newcomers came to Kiel. With the 0-2 away defeat on the penultimate matchday, May 4th at SC Sperber Hamburg, Kiel lost the race for the runner-up and had to be content with third place again. With the final 0-0 in Kiel, it was enough for Göttingen to move into the Bundesliga promotion round. Skrotzki had scored five goals in 21 league games. For the 1967/68 round he signed a new contract with FC Bayern Hof in the South Regional Football League .

Under coach Heinz Elzner and alongside Siegfried Stark and Wolfgang Breuer , he won the southern championship before Kickers Offenbach . He had scored four goals in 24 league appearances. In the Bundesliga promotion round he was only used in the two games against Rot-Weiss Essen (0: 1) and Göttingen 05 (1: 3). After only one year he left Upper Franconia and moved to the Bergisches Land for Wuppertaler SV in the Regionalliga West . Coach Horst Buhtz built a new team in the stadium at the Zoo and started the season with right winger Skrotzki on August 18, 1968 with a 2-0 home win against Fortuna Düsseldorf in front of 20,000 spectators. Skrotzki played all 34 league games, scored five goals and the WSV finished 5th. When Buhtz brought in two exactly matching new players with winger Gustav Jung and header specialist Günter Pröpper for the second season in 1969/70 , Wuppertal improved to 3rd place . Again Skrotzki had scored five goals, but now in 28 league appearances. Skrotzki's good performance prompted Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig to sign the winger from Wuppertaler SV before the 1970/71 season.

With the successor to Helmuth Johannsen , Otto Knefler , the Lower Saxony played an astonishingly good round in 1970/71. Skrotzki was one of the regulars with 27 league appearances and two goals. With ex-national striker Klaus Gerwien , he took turns on the right winger at the side of center forward Jaro Deppe and left winger Dietmar Erler in the attack of Eintracht. Braunschweig came in 4th at the end of the lap. Skrotzki experienced his first 12 league appearances as a substitute in the second half; for the first time on January 23, 1971, he ran in the away game at FC Schalke 04 (0: 1) in the starting line-up. The surprising 4th place was largely due to the dangerousness of midfielder Lothar Ulsaß with 18 goals, supported by Bernd Gersdorff , Max Lorenz and Michael Polywka . In his second year in Braunschweig, 1971/72, only nine more Bundesliga appearances followed. With Ludwig Bründl , Jürgen Dudda and Hartmut Konschal , three offensive forces had newly come to harmony.

For the 1972/73 season, the "Wandervogel" signed a new contract with the newly promoted SpVgg 07 Ludwigsburg in the South Regional Football League . He started under coach Gunther Baumann on July 29, 1972 with a 1: 2 away defeat at Freiburg FC with the black and yellow from the Baroque city in the league round. In November Baumann was replaced by the former Karlsruher SC player Kurt Sommerlatt and the game association defied the KSC on March 17, 1973 in a home game in front of 12,000 spectators. The whole round was under the command of the fight for relegation. With a 4-0 home win, Ludwigsburg ended the round on May 13 with 28:40 points. Skrotzki, he had mostly played in midfield, had played in 27 league games and scored four goals alongside teammates like Peter Rübenach , Hans Mayer , Dieter Dollmann , Rainer Eisenhardt , Heinz Stickel , Hans Hägele , Rainer Lippert and Georg Beichle . One point behind Freiburg's FC, Ludwigsburg was relegated to the amateur camp in 16th place and Skrotzki signed a new contract with 1. FC Schweinfurt .

With the Green-Blacks from Lower Franconia he completed the last season of the old, second-class regional league and finished 15th with his new club. Skrotzki had scored two goals in 26 regional league games and Schweinfurt was qualified for the new Bundesliga 2 for the 1974/75 season. In 1974/75 , the debut year of the 2. Bundesliga, which was played in two seasons, the team from the Willy Sachs Stadium under coach Istvan Sztani played a very good round. Tied on points with runner-up FK Pirmasens, both of whom had 48:28 points, the men around Skrotzki, Lothar Emmerich , Werner Seubert and Harald Aumeier took third place. Skrotzki had scored six goals in 27 second division games. In the equally surprising relegation in the following year, he added another 27 games with two goals in the 2nd Bundesliga. In the summer of 1976, after a total of 36 Bundesliga games (2 goals), 54 2nd Bundesliga games (8 goals) and 215 regional league games with 41 goals, he ended his career as a player.

In 1971 Skrotzki was sentenced to a fine of 4,400 DM for his involvement in the Bundesliga scandal .
