Athletic career

At the age of 17, Volkmar Neubert, who started playing football at SG Lippersdorf, was delegated to FC Karl-Marx-Stadt (FCK) by the company sports community (BSG) progress Eppendorf. Also in 1967 he was appointed to the squad of the GDR junior national team, with which he played twelve international matches until 1968. He was always used as a left winger and was able to score two goals. At the 1968 UEFA youth tournament, the unofficial European championship of this age group, the GDR U-18s were eliminated in April 1968 with Karl-Marx-Städter already in the preliminary round.

Even as a junior , Neubert was used for the first time in the league team in the 1967/68 season when he played the last two point games. In the following season 1968/69 he made himself hopes to be able to conquer a regular place in the league team. In the first half of the season he was only absent from two league games, but was injured on the last day of the match before the winter break and was then only used three times as a substitute. It was not until the ninth game of the 1969/70 league season that he came back regularly and completed a total of 18 point games by the end of the season. Although the FCK had to play in the second-rate GDR league after relegation in 1970/71 , Neubert was included in the squad of the GDR youth national team at the beginning of the season , with whom he played three international matches until 1971. In the GDR league he was one of the guarantors of immediate resurgence with 27 stakes and seven goals. Also in his fourth league season in 1971/72 Neubert was part of the player base. As a striker, he missed only one of the 26 point games and scored three goals. In 1972/73 he injured himself again after ten uninterrupted league appearances and had to pause for nine game days. The final from his league career came on the 7th league match day of the 1973/74 season, when an injury forced him to give up again. He then had to end his career as a football player after 129 competitive games for FCK, including 82 league games with five goals.

As a coach of lower-class teams, Neubert remained in football. So he trained u. a. his Eppendorfer home community. With the Saxon national league team SpVgg Zschopau , where he was a coach for 15 years, he won the Sachsenpokal in 1991 and thus gave the team the participation in the first main round of the DFB-Pokal (2: 3 afterwards against the Rot-Weiß Hasborn- Dautweiler ).
