Career

As A-Junior at Germania Datteln, Grau became a youth national player in the 1963/64 season. With the DFB national youth team , he took part in the UEFA youth tournament in the Netherlands in March 1964 . He was in the game against Sweden (2: 1) and in the 1: 3 defeat against the Netherlands as a center forward on the field. The team-mates Franz Beckenbauer and Berti Vogts had a very successful career in the senior team in the national team. For the 1964/65 season he signed a license player contract with the Bundesliga team of FC Schalke 04 . In the following two seasons he was a supplementary player in the "Knappen". Under coach Fritz Langner , Grau made his debut on September 26, 1964 in the 2: 6 home defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. He scored a goal as a right winger. Against the opponents in the attack - Reinhard Libuda , Günter Herrmann , Manfred Kreuz , Karl-Heinz Bechmann , Waldemar Gerhardt , Willi Koslowski - the young striker could not prevail and had to be content with five (3 goals) Bundesliga appearances in his first year in Schalke. In his second Bundesliga season, 1965/66, Schalke played again against relegation and Grau came to seven league appearances alongside teammates like Klaus Fichtel , Heinz Pliska , Alfred Pyka and Gerhard Neuser .

In the summer of 1966 he moved to Bonner SC in the then second -rate regional football league West . He was accompanied by Horst Mühlmann , Uwe Kleina and Heinz-Dieter Lömm . Under BSC coach Günther Glomb , Grau made his debut on August 21, 1966 in a 0-0 draw in the stadium at the Zoo against Wuppertaler SV in the Regionalliga West. He completed 33 league games (5 goals), but the Red-Blue were relegated to the Middle Rhine amateur league. By winning the championship in 1967/68 , he immediately returned to the regional league with Bonn. From 1968 to 1971 he played another 80 regional league games (3 goals) for Bonn. He was constantly involved in the fight against relegation with teammates such as Helmut Bergfelder , Manfred Cremer , Alfred Glenski , Horacio Troche , Werner Waddey , Willi Zander and in 1970/71 with the young Hans Bongartz . From the 1971/72 season - Bonn became champions in 1972, but failed in the promotion round - gray played five rounds with the BSC in the Mittelrhein Association League. Under coach Martin Luppen , he was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga , Group North , in 1976 .

Grau and colleagues reached 16th place in the 20-man season with 33:43 points and the veteran had scored two goals in 29 games. Due to the withdrawal of the license due to a violation of the statutes, Bonn went back to the amateur camp. Gray played the last second division game with the BSC on May 22, 1977 with a 1-0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen. In the 1977/78 season he reached 3rd place with his club in the Mittelrhein Association League and was only eliminated in the third main round of the DFB Cup against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
