Theo Diegelmann (born November 23, 1939 ) is a former German soccer player who played a total of 266 goalkeeper games in the Regionalliga from 1964 to 1972, 134 of them for SSV Reutlingen in the Regionalliga Süd . Diegelmann was able to qualify with his clubs for the promotion round to the Bundesliga three times. The third time the promotion succeeded, but Diegelmann was denied an appearance in the Bundesliga.

career

Diegelmann played his first season in semi-professional football in the founding year of the Regionalliga as a substructure of the newly created Bundesliga in the 1963/64 season for Borussia Fulda in the Regionalliga Süd, a club that had competed in the 2nd Oberliga Süd in the years before . There Diegelmann was used as No. 1 in all 38 league games. At the end of the season, however, it was not enough for the East Hesse to stay in the league and the goalkeeper moved within the league to the top club SSV Reutlingen. There, too, he was No. 1 in his first season and was used in all 36 league games. The SSV played a good season with Diegelmann and qualified for the promotion round to the Bundesliga as runner-up behind Bayern Munich . There, too, Diegelmann guarded the Reutlingen goal in all games and in the end only one point was missing from Borussia Mönchengladbach to promote promotion to the Bundesliga. In the following three years he was still the goalkeeper of the Württemberger, but the placements as 8th, 6th and 3rd were not enough for the qualification for the promotion round. In his last season in Reutlingen, he was able to reach the round of 16 in the DFB Cup with SSV, which was lost 3-1 to Borussia Dortmund at the Kreuzeiche stadium .

For the 1968/69 season Diegelmann moved to the Regionalliga West for VfL Bochum . While in the first year the qualifying round was narrowly missed as third with equal points behind Rot-Weiss Essen , this interim success was achieved in the following two seasons as champions. If the West Germans failed at Kickers Offenbach in the first attempt with Diegelmann in goal , the Bochumers then succeeded in advancement in 1971 and the 22-year-old Bundesliga chapter of VfL began as Die Unabsteigbaren ; But without Diegelmann, who had lost his regular place in his third season in the Ruhr area to the young man Hans-Jürgen Bradler and moved back to the Regionalliga Süd for 1. FC Nürnberg . After only one year and a catastrophic season for the German record champions at the time in the middle of the second division - in 1968 the club had won its ninth and so far (2018) last German championship - Theo Diegelmann ended his career as a contract player in 1972 at the age of 33.
