Victor Nurenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victor Nurenberg (born December 22, 1930 in Niederkorn , † April 22, 2010 in Saint-Laurent-du-Var ), often incorrectly spelled Nuremberg , was a Luxembourg football player who played in the professional French league for most of his career .

Club career

The "Vic" Nurenberg, storming on the half left or left winger , came to the French professional league at the end of 1951 from the Luxembourg amateur club Progrès Niederkorn to OGC Nice . Only sporadically used in his first season (eight games in Division 1 ), the 21-year-old planned to return to Luxembourg as an amateur after the end of the season, although he was with the Aiglons - Nice's players in France are often referred to as "young eagles" - celebrated winning the championship title in the summer of 1952 . But then coach Andoire surprisingly decided to give preference to the novice, who had scored four league goals, and the reservist Luis Carniglia over regular goal scorer Pär Bengtsson and team captain Désiré Carré for the cup final that was also reached . Ten minutes after the game against the Girondins Bordeaux kicked off , the Luxembourger scored 1-0 and in a particularly exciting final (final score 5: 3) helped Nice win the Doublé championship and cup win in the same season. In the 1952/53 season, now under coach Zatelli , he became a regular player himself, and another year later he was again in a cup final, this time in one with numerous national players (including Cuissard , Mahjoub , Fontaine and Ujlaki ) Eleven was undisputed. Also in 1954 Nurenberg and Carniglia scored two early goals, so that the OGC could again receive the cup (2-1 against Olympique Marseille ). In 1956 and 1959 two more national championship titles were achieved with the Aiglons .

The 1.75 m tall, slim Victor Nurenberg possessed immense speed, a fine ball technique and despite his frequent use as a winger, a remarkable goal rank. In the penalty area he was able to assert himself, although not exactly the type of "breaker", whereby his cold-bloodedness also benefited him in the decisive moments. Although he was only at the top of the league hunter list in 1958/59 (16 hits, 14th place), he is the club's most successful attacker with his 89 first division goals for Nice to this day (2010). His performances there for nine seasons made him a “ Nice icon ” , but a single game also contributed to that: in the European home game against the great Real Madrid , the OGC were quickly 2-0 down in February 1960, before Nurenberg beat the “Royal” “Single-handedly produced the final score of 3: 2. Among them was a penalty where he charged goalkeeper Domínguez after he was fouled himself.

In the 1960/61 season he moved to the second division FC Sochaux , which he promptly shot back to the top division, but could not prevent its relegation a year later. In 1962/63 he wore the Olympique Lyons dress , where he played again for the championship title - in the end 5th place - and was also in a cup final for the last time. His role was now that of an attacking midfielder, so that he acted more as a passgiver for Lyon's strikers Di Nallo and Combin and did not manage to hit the final even in the two finals (0-0 aet and 0-2 against AS Monaco ) .

1963/64 joined the third division SEC Bastia for a year . After that Victor Nurenberg returned to his home where he - as a player-coach  - with Spora Luxembourg in 1965 (1: 0 against Jeunesse Esch ; he managed the only goal of the game) and 1966 (2: 0, again against Jeunesse) two other national cups in was able to classify his stately collection. He was also on the field in both Spora games in the 1965/66 European Cup Winners' Cup (0: 2 and 0: 1 against 1. FC Magdeburg ).

After retiring from his career, he settled near Nice , first working in the casino and then opening a café. In 2008 he was made a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg . He also died on the French Mediterranean coast in 2010.

In the national team

With regard to Victor Nurenberg's international matches for Luxembourg , the sources are not entirely clear. It is undisputed that between November 1951 and September 1964 he played a total of 5 matches for the A-Elf; on his debut (3-0 over Finland ) he also scored a goal in this circle. In December 1951 and April 1952 he played twice against West Germany (1: 4 and 0: 3). Then it was only considered again in 1957 (2: 5 in the Netherlands ) and again in 1964 (1: 3 in Yugoslavia ). Against France's senior team, however, he was in none of the three encounters (1953 two games and 1964) during this period. In addition, he came to the Olympic Games in 1952 for two missions; In addition, he is said to have had twelve other appearances (with four goals), which may - on the part of one of the national or international associations involved - not count as official internationals, for example against B-teams from other countries.
