career

youth

In the blue-whites of the Karlsruher SC, in the "fan city" in Baden , Glaser went through the youth classes and already played in 1961 via the North Baden selection in the national student team of the DFB. He was a member of the German team, which on April 14, 1961 in Hagen lost the traditional international student game against England with 1: 3 goals. The technically good and goal-threatening attacker from Karlsruhe acted in the center-forward position next to half-forward Wolfgang Glock . At the side of other exceptionally talented young players such as Horst Wild , Rolf Kahn , Willi Dürrschnabel , Hans-Peter Lamparth and Roland Weida , he won the South German A-Juniors Championship with the KSC-A-Jugend in 1962. The offensive talent's path from the Wildpark Stadium continued seamlessly in 1963 when he was accepted into the German national youth team . Under the then responsible DFB trainer Helmut Schön , the hopeful striker of the KSC debuted on February 24, 1963 in Klagenfurt in the qualifying match for the 1963 UEFA youth tournament against Austria in the DFB youth team. In the 2-1 win, Helmut Schön had relied on the attack line-up with Helmut Sandmann , Klaus Zaczyk , Glaser, Willi Dürrschnabel and Günter Netzer in the World Cup system . At the 1963 UEFA youth tournament in England, the center forward was used in the group matches against Greece and Scotland.

When the DFB youth under coach Dettmar Cramer opened the year 1964 on March 8th in Lörrach with a 2-1 win in a friendly against Switzerland, Glaser was again in the attacking front alongside Dieter Schollbach , Ulrich Kallius and Werner Waddey . Berti Vogts impressed as a full-back and the left wing runner from Munich, Franz Beckenbauer , started his extremely successful international career with two goals. At the UEFA youth tournament in the Netherlands he was on March 30, 1964 in Apeldoorn in the 3-1 defeat in the group game against the tournament organizer for the last time in the ranks of the youth national team. For the 1964/65 season he was taken over into the club's team of licensed players at Karlsruher SC.

Bundesliga and regional league, 1964 to 1970

After the nerve-wracking relegation battle in the Bundesliga’s debut year, 1963/64 , when the Wildparkelf had scored 42 goals in 30 league games, Presidents Dietmar Schönig and Franz Vida, 1st chairman Helmuth Hodel and game committee chairman Walter Bauis and coach Kurt Sommerlatt reinforcement announced for the offensive. With Horst-Dieter Berking , Hans Cieslarczyk and Klaus-Peter Jendrosch, three successful players from the then second-class regional leagues North, West and South were committed; in addition, the offensive talents Glaser and Hans-Peter Lamparth came from their own A-youth. After the 19th matchday, January 23, 1965, coach Sommerlatt was dismissed after the 2-0 home defeat against Werder Bremen. KSC was in last place with 13:25 points and Glaser had not yet played a minute in the Bundesliga. This did not change until the end of the round under the new coach Helmut Schneider . With 24:36 points, the Karlsruhe team were in penultimate 15th place and, like FC Schalke 04, only remained in the Bundesliga by increasing to 18 clubs for the 1965/66 series. The supposedly hopeful potential of the former youth national players with Rolf Kahn, Willi Dürrschnabel, Udo Glaser, Horst Wild and Klaus Zaczyk had not yet been able to assert itself in the Bundesliga for various reasons, with the exception of Wild. In Glaser's second Bundesliga year, 1965/66, things didn't get any better in Karlsruhe. Not for KSC and not for the young striker. With 24:44 points, the KSC just finished 16th and Glaser only played a Bundesliga role. On the fifth day of play, September 11, 1965, he was played in the 1: 4 home defeat in front of 45,000 spectators in the Wildpark Stadium against Hamburger SV. He formed the left wing with Klaus Zaczyk, but had no chance against the HSV defensive led by Horst Schnoor , Willi Schulz and Jürgen Kurbjuhn . For the 1966/67 season, the former KSC youth national striker joined SV Waldhof Mannheim in the Regionalliga Süd.

With the blue-blacks from Waldhof he made his debut on August 27, 1966 in the 1-1 away draw against the Stuttgarter Kickers in the Regionalliga. At the side of teammates like Wolfgang Höfig , Klaus Sinn , Rolf Lederer and Manfred Grimm , he completed 23 league games and scored five goals when he reached eleventh place under coach Robert Körner . In his second regional league year, 1967/68 , he increased his personal record to 29 games in which he scored ten goals for the Waldhof-Elf now coached by Hermann Lindemann , but his club was only able to occupy 12th place. After three rounds with a total of 73 regional league appearances and 19 goals, he ended his activity at SV Waldhof in the summer of 1969 and joined local rivals VfR Mannheim for the 1969/70 round. In addition to team-mates such as Dietmar Danner , Wolfgang Platz , Jürgen Schult , Klaus Slatina and Rainer Ulrich , there were only 13 other regional league appearances in the blue-white-red lawn athletes with one goal. In the summer of 1970 Udo Glaser ended his high-class playing career.

Life

In 2010, Glaser, owner of the Cafe Restaurant Ludwig's in a central location in Karlsruhe, was also briefly deputy chairman of the board of directors of Karlsruher SC.
