Siegfried Müller (soccer player)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siegfried Müller (born September 4, 1942 , † April 5, 2009 ) was a German soccer player. For SC Einheit Dresden he played in 1961 in the GDR Oberliga , the top division in GDR football .

Athletic career

In 1961, the GDR soccer match was changed from the calendar season, which had previously been held for five years, back to the summer-spring game rhythm. In most leagues, 39 point games had to be played from February 1961 to June 1962. This also affected the upper division club SC Einheit Dresden, which in addition to this burden also had to cope with the temporary loss of several regular players. Already since the 16th league game day, the Dresdeners were in acute danger of relegation, whereupon a new coach, Heinz Seifert , was appointed after the 20th game day . Above all, he tried to revive the ailing attack and also resorted to 19-year-old Siegfried Müller, who had previously only been used in the reserve team. He used him on matchday 24 in the home game against Lokomotive Stendal (1: 1) instead of the previous regular attacker Dieter Natusch as a half right striker. It remained with this one attempt, because until the end of the season, when the SC unit was determined as relegated, Siegfried Müller was no longer used in the league.

Even in the GDR league season 1962/63, Müller was only called up in one of the 26 league games under Heinz Seifert. With a third place, Einheit Dresden missed the desired promotion, and Felix Vogel took over the coaching position for the 1963/64 season . He succeeded in developing Müller into a regular in the 1st team. Müller played 22 of the 26 GDR league games and with his twelve goals became the second best goal scorer for Dresden behind Klaus Engels , who scored 16 times. With second place, Einheit Dresden did not return to the league in 1964 either. In his third GDR league season, Müller did not manage to repeat his performance from the previous year, he was only used in a league game in which he scored his last goal in higher-class football. There he did not appear after a league game and 23 GDR league appearances with thirteen goals.

Müller died at the age of 66. The burial took place in the Dresden Heidefriedhof .
