from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Born (born March 7, 1958 in Siegen ; † April 2, 2015 ) was a German football player .

Life

Born from Siegen played for Sportfreunde Siegen and made it into the Westphalia selection before moving to Eintracht Haiger in the Oberliga Hessen in 1980 . There he was discovered by Jupp Heynckes , coach at Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach , and brought to the Bökelberg for the 1981/82 season . In the team around the up-and-coming talents Lothar Matthäus , Wolfram Wuttke and Uwe Rahn , Born did not get beyond the role of the supplementary player. His Bundesliga debut on January 30, 1982, when he came on for Bernd Schmider after 78 minutes , was followed by only two more missions. In his third and last Bundesliga game on March 30, 1982 against Eintracht Frankfurt, he was in midfield alongside Ralf Bödeker , Hans-Günter Bruns and Uwe Rahn on the starting line-up. After he had not played a competitive game in the 1982/83 season , the lanky midfielder moved back to the amateur camp during the summer break and joined 1. FC Viersen .

This was followed by a renewed engagement with the top division club Eintracht Haiger. With the club he reached the round of 16 in the 1984/85 DFB Cup . After beating league rivals CSC 03 Kassel , they defeated Bundesliga club Karlsruher SC 1-0 after extra time in the second round , with Born one of the main players in the game. Only in the round of 16 did the second division club SG Union Solingen show the amateur club its limits with an 8-0 defeat. Another sporting highlight came in the 1986/87 season under the new coach Peter Cestonaro , who led Haiger to second place in the table behind Kickers Offenbach and the associated participation in the German amateur championship in 1987 . There they failed in the first round with 0: 0 and 2: 3 against the eventual winner MSV Duisburg .

In 1989 Born went to the district division SG Hausen / Fussingen as a player- coach . In 1997 he won the district cup with the club, and in 1999 he took over the coaching position at local neighbor TuS Waldernbach . In 2003 he became a coach at his ex-club Eintracht Haiger, which started in the district league C after bankruptcy and re-establishment.

Born suffered a heart attack in March 2006 and fell into a vegetative state . In order to support his family financially, his former clubs then organized a charity game in which the Weisweiler-Elf, Borussia Mönchengladbach's traditional team, competed against a local selection. The event generated proceeds of around 20,000 euros.
