Selection teams

In his first season at Hamburger SV, 1931/32, Richard Dörfel was one of the selection of Northern Germany in the competition for the Federal Cup .

HSV teammates Walter Warning , Erwin Reinhardt , Werner Höffmann , Rudolf Noack and Gustav Carstens were also in the final .

The street footballer from Harburger Mopsberg was denied a career in the national team. He was considered headstrong and insubordinate - attributes that were a thorn in the side of the dust-headed DFB bosses in the Nazi era. His international career in the team of the eleven best ended before it really started. Opinions differ about what that was. One version says that the drinkable jack-of-all-trades should have allowed himself a cigarette after training - a mortal sin for Herberger. Even worse was what nephew “Charly” Dörfel said: “He once told the national coach that he didn't need to explain football to him and should be happy to have it. That probably broke his neck in sporting terms. ”Richard Dörfel's daughter Rita reports of an event that weighed even more heavily:“ When my father was supposed to play, he was asked to give the 'German greeting' while the national anthem was playing. ”Den he refused, Dörfel didn't play.
