Uwe Bracht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uwe Bracht (born July 10, 1953 in Bremen , † November 11, 2016 in Flensburg ) was a German football player and coach. Between 1972 and 1983 the midfielder came to Werder Bremen to 272 appearances in the Bundesliga and 37 appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga; he scored a total of 26 goals. In 1983 he was runner-up with Werder. The “ingenious left-footed man with an eye for open space” has been the linchpin of the Bremen game for many years.

Life

Bracht came from the youth of the ATS Buntentor and then switched to the A-youth of SV Werder Bremen at the age of 16, where the short-grown Bracht was initially only used in the third team. But he made the leap into the Bremen amateur team. Coach Josef Piontek brought him to the Bundesliga team in 1971, where he made his Bundesliga debut in the 1971/72 season on May 20, 1972 in a 2-0 defeat at MSV Duisburg . Bracht came to his next league appearance on the second day of the 1973/74 season . From then on, he was part of the permanent staff and played 29 other Bundesliga matches that season.

In 1980 he was relegated to the second division with SV Werder, but in 1981 he was immediately promoted again. Under coach Otto Rehhagel , the team with players like Rudi Völler , Klaus Fichtel , Uwe Reinders and Yasuhiko Okudera was tied behind Hamburger SV in 1983, the club's greatest success since 1968. On October 14, 1983, the tenth matchday of the season, scored Brings the 1-0 lead in the 2-1 home win against Dortmund. This was followed by problems with the Achilles tendon, which led to an operation from which he no longer recovered until he was fit for the Bundesliga.

Bracht made the leap into the German B national team in the 1980s .

He finally switched to amateur football, first to VfB Oldenburg , then as a player-coach for Bremer SV . From 1986 to 1988 Uwe Bracht played under coach Hartmut Konschal for TSV Verden in the Lower Saxony Association League and was twice the Lower Saxony Cup winner . In the first round of the DFB Cup he was eliminated with TSV Verden in 1987 against SV Werder Bremen and in 1988 against Rot-Weiss Essen . Then Bracht went to Schleswig-Holstein.

In 1993 he moved to Flensburg, where he worked full-time for the municipal utilities in the back office and initially also competed in the association league for TSV Nord Harrislee . He also coached youth teams from DGF Flensborg , which at times played in the highest youth classes, as well as men's and youth teams of the German-Danish club IF Stjernen Flensborg .

Bracht died on November 11, 2016. He was married and had one son.
