career

The offensive player, who has passed through the various age groups in the youth division of the black and yellow since 1965, was taken over into the old town's licensed squad during the season's debut year of the second division, 1974/75 , where Jenő Vincze still held the coaching position at the beginning of the first half of the season . Wolfgang Breuer , Norbert Hofmann and Harald Bleckert came to the Wagner city as newcomers and the storm talent Herbert Heidenreich of the same age had already made his debut in the Regionalliga Süd last year. On December 1, 1974, at the home game against VfR Heilbronn , the 20-year-old young footballer made his debut in the club's licensed team. In the 47th minute he took the 1-0 lead in a 2-0 home win. Bayreuth finished ninth at the end of the round and the talent in attack, Uwe Sommerer, had scored six goals in 17 missions alongside the two top performers Wolfgang Breuer and Manfred Großesler . Sommerer, who acted on the left wing or centrally at the top, increased his record to 37 appearances in his second year in the 2nd Bundesliga, 1975/76 , under Vincze's successor Gerhard Happ , and was a 13-time goal scorer - just like Herbert Heidenreich - from. The game association was in fifth place in 1976.

The striker experienced his most successful two years in sport under coach Heinz Elzner, who came from Hof, in 1977/78 and 1978/79. The team of president and sponsor Hans Wölfel started the 1977/78 season with 8: 0 points and built the balance to 14: 2 points on September 18, 1977 with the 1-0 home win against old champions 1. FC Nürnberg in front of 15,000 spectators out. Sommerer was a three-time goalscorer in the 5-1 home win against the Stuttgarter Kickers in November 1977 and the game association ranked first in the table with 22: 6 points. After the first half of the season, Sommerer and colleagues led the table with 31: 7 points. In the second half of the season, the performance of the preliminary round could not be repeated and Bayreuth finished the round in fourth place with a 48:28 point balance. On matchday 28, March 5, 1978, Sommerer had the Bundesliga relegated Karlsruher SC in a 3-0 home win - KSC's defense was with goalkeeper Rudi Wimmer and in the field with Jürgen Kalb , Karl-Heinz Struth , Rolf Dohmen and Hermann Kohlenbrenner been occupied - with three goals almost single-handedly defeated. In the scorers list of the 2nd Bundesliga group south he was third behind Peter Cestonaro and Emanuel Günther , who each scored 27 goals, with 25 goals in 37 games.

The next round, 1978/79 , opened the black and yellow with a 10-0 point start and thus led the table in the southern group. Sommerer contributed a goal to the successful start of the round on July 29, 1978, a 3-1 away win at TSV 1860 Munich . After the first half of the season, Wormatia Worms and Karlsruher SC led the table after 19 matchdays with two points ahead of Bayreuth. The goalscorer ended the rounds - 36 league appearances with 24 goals - on matchday 38, June 9, 1979, in a 5-1 win at Borussia Neunkirchen with two goals and Bayreuth was one point behind - 53: 23/52: 24 - to Meister 1860 Munich in second place. In the two relegation games to determine the third Bundesliga climber, the runner-up from the northern relay, Bayer 05 Uerdingen , prevailed.

The attacker, especially the eleven of the game association, could not repeat this performance in the following rounds and after the first year of the "single-track" 2nd Bundesliga, 1981/82, rose to the amateur level. The last game in the relegation season played Sommerer on May 29, 1982, in a 1-1 home draw against SC Freiburg . He stormed in the team led by Manfred Großler as a coach in the attack together with Michael Tönnies and the other game association legend, Wolfgang Breuer, acted in the libero position at the age of 38.

Sommerer remained loyal to the game association in the Bavarian League and was still a member of the championship team of the 1984/85 season , which was able to prevail in the promotion round to the 2nd Bundesliga against Viktoria Aschaffenburg , FSV Salmrohr and SV Sandhausen and returned to professional football. After a last assignment in the 2nd Bundesliga in 1985/86, he ended his higher-class playing career.

In the DFB Cup , reaching the quarter-finals twice in 1977 and 1980 stood out. The highlight was the 1-0 home win in the third main round against FC Bayern Munich . On January 12, 1980, in the 22nd minute of the game in front of 18,000 spectators, Sommerer scored the decisive goal against the Bavarians, who had been playing with Klaus Augenthaler , Paul Breitner and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge , on the rolled snow .
