Ralf Weber (born May 31, 1969 in Seligenstadt ) is a former German soccer player .
Club career
Ralf Weber began his football career in 1974 at SpVgg Hainstadt before moving to Kickers Offenbach in 1982 . From 1987 to 1989 he played 50 second division games for Offenbach, in which he scored six goals. After Kickers' license was withdrawn , he moved to local rivals Eintracht Frankfurt in 1989 , for whom he made his Bundesliga debut on August 4, 1989 in an away game against Hamburger SV . After two more appearances as a substitute, he played his first Bundesliga game from the start in the home game against Bayer Uerdingen on August 26, 1989 and scored the equalizer three minutes before the end, which promoted Eintracht back to the top of the table. (One minute before the final whistle, Lothar Sippel scored 2-1 .) The midfielder played a total of 182 first division games (19 goals) and 32 second division games (10 goals) for Frankfurter Eintracht, which he played until the end of his playing career in 2001 stayed true.
Ralf Weber was plagued by numerous injuries throughout his career, which repeatedly forced him to take longer breaks. Between 1995 and 1997 he only played two competitive games for Eintracht, and not a single one in the 2000/01 season, before ending his active career in 2001 after numerous operations and unsuccessful rehabilitation attempts.
His famous "breakout" from the 1991/92 season in the last game against Hansa Rostock , which from Frankfurt's point of view was lost 1: 2 and cost Eintracht the championship title that was believed to be certain, is legendary . Out of anger over the referee Alfons Berg's penalty kick after a foul by the Rostock player Stefan Böger on him in the penalty area, he kicked a television camera after the final whistle; the cameraman suffered a black eye. Weber later apologized publicly to the cameraman, and the association paid for the damage.
National team career
After an earlier assignment for the German U-21s, Weber celebrated his international debut for the senior national team against Russia on September 7, 1994 . By June 1995, he completed a total of nine internationals, but scored no goals.
Career as a player observer
Until the end of the 2013/14 season, Ralf Weber worked as a player observer on behalf of Eintracht Frankfurt.
From January 2016 to April 2019 he worked as Rudi Bommer's assistant trainer at SC Hessen Dreieich .
