Career

Growing up in the youth of Blau-Weiß Langenbochum in Herten , Kucharski moved to TSV Marl-Hüls at the age of 18 for the 1967/68 season in what was then the second division of the West Regional Football League. The talent from Langenbochum made his debut on August 13, 1967 in a 2-0 home win against Wuppertaler SV with a hit in the Regionalliga. The headed center forward with goal instinct scored 17 goals in 34 league games. The blue-whites from Jahnstadion took eleventh place with trainer Heinz Sewina and teammates Georg Marwig, Hans-Dieter Jekosch, Gerd Linka, Günter Peters, Helmut Laszig and Herbert Lütkebohmert . Kucharski played for TSV until 1969 and moved to league rivals Schwarz-Weiß Essen with 34 goals after 68 association games . In Essen he reached fifth place under coach Horst Witzler in the 1969/70 season and teammates such as Manfred Müller (goalkeeper), Rolf Bauerkämper , Wolfgang Glock , Heiko Mertes , Heinz-Dieter Lömm and Herbert Stoffmehl and scored 20 goals in 33 games. He stayed until 1971 and moved to Fortuna Köln after a total of 65 association games with 37 goals.

In his first season in Cologne's Südstadt district, 1971/72, the striker scored 26 goals in 31 games. Uwe Blotenberg with twelve goals and Wolfgang Glock with seven goals followed in the club's internal goalscorer list. With the club of patrons and president Hans Löring , Kucharski took second place in the table at the end of the season behind Rot-Weiss Essen in the 1972/73 season under coach Martin Luppen . With that, Kucharski (28-19) was qualified with his teammates for the following promotion round. Fortuna prevailed against FC St. Pauli , 1. FSV Mainz 05 , Karlsruher SC and Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin , so the promotion to the Bundesliga was perfect. Kucharski had appeared in all eight games and scored three goals. The next year Kucharski played 22 times in the upper house of German football. Together with Karl-Heinz Struth , he was the team's most successful goalscorer with nine goals each. At the end of the season Fortuna occupied the penultimate place and was relegated.

Kucharski left Cologne and played for the next six years with Alemannia Aachen in the 2nd Bundesliga . From 1974 to 1980 he played 191 games in the 2nd Bundesliga with the yellow-blacks and scored 37 goals. In the first season of the then two-tier 2. Bundesliga, 1974/75, he fought with the "Colorado beetles" to stay in the league. Under the three coaches Michael Pfeiffer , Gerhard Prokop and Horst Witzler who replaced each other , the striker scored 20 goals in 32 games and the eleven from the Tivoli Stadium took 15th place. Behind Volker Graul (30), Gerd-Volker Schock (26), Rüdiger Wenzel (24) and Peter Dahl (23), he finished fifth in the top scorer list with 20 goals each with Gerd Kasperski from the champion and BL up-and-coming Hannover 96 the northern season. Within the club, Helmut Schütt and Christoph Walter followed with eight goals each. In the later years of his time at Alemannia, Kucharski acted as a libero and formed the defensive in his last season 1979/80 with Wolfgang Dramsch (goalkeeper), Joaquín Montañés , Dietmar Grabotin and Helmut Frantzen . Kucharski played another 36 league games and Alemannia came in seventh under coach Erhard Ahmann and goalscorers Hubert Clute-Simon (16) and Winfried Stradt (11). He completed his last second division game on May 31, 1980 in a 2-1 away win against Arminia Hannover. He then played for a year in Belgium for AS Eupen in 1980/81 .
