Uwe Machold
Uwe Machold (born November 30, 1961 in Hohenmölsen ) is a former German football player. In the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the GDR Football Association , he played for Halleschen FC .
Athletic career
Machold began his football career in 1968 in his hometown with the BSG activist Hohenmölsen . In 1975, at the age of 13, he was delegated to the region’s football center, Halleschen FC Chemie (HFC). There he first played in the youth team, then in the junior team and became a student at the children's and youth sports school in Halle. He then completed an apprenticeship as a maintenance mechanic. When he failed to make the transition to the men's division, he was delegated to the fourth class SG Dynamo Halle-Neustadt. With SG Dynamo, he made it to the Halle district league in 1982 . For the 1983/84 season Machold moved to BSG progress Weissenfels in the second-rate GDR league . His 13 goals, with which he was the top scorer of the Weißenfelser, were not enough to save the team from relegation.
However, the HFC had become aware of the accurate 1.80 m tall striker and brought him back into their own ranks at the beginning of the 1984/85 season. The Halle residents had also just been relegated and were now playing in the GDR league. Machold managed to gain a foothold there immediately and played all 34 point games, alternately in midfield or in attack. With 17 championship goals he was again top scorer of his team. After a less successful 1985/86 season, he helped the HFC return to the league in 1986/87 with 30 point games and seven goals. There, too, he had a brilliant debut and again completed all point games in 1987/88 and scored the most HFC goals with Dietmar Schütze with six goals.
1986 Machold was included in the squad of the GDR soccer Olympic team. On November 18, 1987 he was used in the qualifying game Italy - GDR (1: 1). Since the GDR could not prevail in the qualification, Machold's participation in the Olympic selection had no further consequences.
At HFC Machold played regularly as a winger, both right and left, until 1990. When the GDR Oberliga started its last season in 1990/91 in view of German reunification, Machold was 28 years old. Under the new coach Bernd Donau , he was ordered back to midfield and was only used as a substitute several times in his 23 league games. The HFC, meanwhile without the addition of "chemistry", finished the season in fourth place and qualified for the 2nd Bundesliga . After 97 GDR league games with 12 goals, Machold played the second division season 1991/92, but was now only a substitute and was only used ten times between the 2nd and 27th matchday, and he was only twice in the starting eleven.
In the summer of 1992 Machold settled in the Upper Swabian town of Biberach an der Riss and joined the FV Biberach , with whom he played in the amateur league for seven years . He then worked as a trainer at FVB, most recently with the U-19 team.
