Valentin Przybylski

Valentin Przybylski (born October 16, 1906 in Dortmund , † unknown) only Valentin from the early 1930s ; occasionally also V. Valentin , Valentin Valentin or Tullux Valentin was a German soccer player who won three German championships with FC Schalke 04 and won a cup once.

Career

Valentin Przybylski, a warehouse clerk by trade , played for FC Schalke 04 at the latest from 1926 and until 1938. As a left runner , he was one of the guarantees for the success of the early 1930s. He was both in the lost final against Fortuna Düsseldorf in 1933 and in the finals of the first two German championships of Schalke in 1934 and 1935 in the team of the "Knappen". In 1934 he initiated the move to the winning goal Ernst Kuzorras in the last minute of the game. In total, he stood for the Blue in 45 Gauliga games in which he scored a goal, and in 33 finals games on the field. In 1930 he was one of the 14 players who were declared "professionals" by the West German Game Association and banned because they had received money for training and games; after almost a year they were pardoned.

Przybylski's father, born in the Schrimm district , had moved from the Prussian province of Posen to the Ruhr area. In the early 1930s, Valentin gave up his Polish surname and "could only be called by his first name."

According to tradition, Przybylski, nicknamed "Valli" or "Tullux", ensured that Ernst Kuzorra - one of the most important Schalke players of the 1930s and 1940s and one of the most important personalities in the club afterwards - stayed at FC Schalke instead to go to the police school in Münster and to the club SC Münster 08 by tearing up its preliminary contract with SC 08. Without Kuzorra and thus without Przybylski, the team's later successes might not have happened at all.

Valentin left FC Schalke 04 in 1938 in the direction of Wuppertal, where he was still active at SC Sonnborn 07 . After the war he worked as a trainer.
