Werner Scholz (born December 1, 1944 in Osterburg ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper and today's coach who completed a total of 252 Bundesliga games for Alemannia Aachen and VfL Bochum .

Career

In January 1957, Scholz registered with the C-youth of Hamborn 07 . At Sportfreunde he played in the senior division from 1963 to 1968 in the Regionalliga West . After regular goalkeeper Horst Podlasly had migrated to Hannover 96 in 1963 , he had to deal with competitors Friedhelm Prill and Franz-Josef Sarna in the first two rounds of the Regionalliga . From the 1965/66 round at the latest, however, he had established himself in the goal of the Hamborner "Löwen". From 1963 to 1968 he played in 103 regional league games for sports fans.

For the 1968/69 season he moved to Alemannia Aachen in the Bundesliga . In his first season he prevailed against the former goalkeeper Gerhard Prokop and was used in 30 games. This year Aachen reached the runner-up championship behind FC Bayern Munich , and in the following year they achieved the semi-finals in the DFB Cup , which they lost 4-0 to 1. FC Köln . After the missions became less in the coming years, he moved from Alemannia, which had meanwhile been relegated to the Regionalliga West - from 1970 to 1972 he played a further 64 regional league games for Aachen - to Bundesliga club VfL Bochum .

Scholz did not appear in the German national soccer team . However, he was one of five goalkeepers - with Sepp Maier , Wolfgang Kleff , Norbert Nigbur and Bernd Franke - in the "40s squad" for the 1974 World Cup in Germany. However, he did not make the leap into the 22-player line-up that was reported for the tournament.

In Bochum, Scholz was number one in goal for six years, but from 1978 Reinhard Mager overtook him and mostly only the place on the bench remained. In the 1981/82 season he joined the second division Rot-Weiss Essen , but was only able to keep the RWE goal 16 games due to an external meniscus operation and then let his higher-class active career end in the summer.

Years as a player-coach for amateur leagues such as Concordia Bochum and Vorwärts Werne followed, before "Scholli" was reactivated for the VfL Bochum league team at the age of 43 . Afterwards , Scholz , who worked his way up to HR clerk at Friedrich-Krupp-Hüttenwerke , joined VfL as a youth and goalkeeper coach. From 1995 he held this position at SG Wattenscheid 09 . He initially trained the A-youths until coach Hannes Bongartz brought him to the first team.

Scholz played a total of 252 Bundesliga games, 167 regional league games, 16 second division games and 32 games in the DFB Cup.
