Soccer career

Youth and Oberliga Nord, until 1963

When Preetzer TSV in the district Plön the footballing talent of the youth player Fritz Boyens developed. His outstanding offensive qualities led him to the German national youth soccer team in the 1960/61 round . In the youth team supervised by DFB coach Helmut Schön , the talent from Preetz made his debut on March 12, 1961 at the international youth game against England in Flensburg. The Schön protégés won the friendly game with 2-0 goals. In the attack, the coach had counted on the young hopes Boyens, Wolfgang Overath , Rainer Waberski , Gerhard Elfert and Horst Wild . The annual UEFA youth tournament took place in Portugal at the end of March / beginning of April and Boyens was part of the DFB squad. In the Algarve, the DFB talents ( Sepp Maier was on the defensive in goal and Bernd Patzke defended together with Karl-Heinz Wirth ) in the group games against Belgium, Romania and the Netherlands and just failed in the semi-finals with 1: 2 goals to Poland. Boyens completed all four tournament games and with his performances - like several other players of this excellent year - raised hopes for a successful career in the senior sector. With his participation on June 17, 1961 in Schaffhausen in the 4-1 success against Switzerland, his time in the youth national team ended. With northern Germany he was able to qualify for the final in the youth country cup of the regional associations, which was then decided against southern Germany in two games (1: 1 n.V .; 3: 0).

Before the last year of the old first-class league system, 1962/63, Boyens signed a contract with Holstein Kiel and switched to the “Storks” in the Holstein Stadium. Under coach Erich Wolf, he made his debut immediately on the start day of the Football Oberliga Nord, on August 19, 1962, in a 4-2 away win against VfB Oldenburg. Kiel finished fifth at the end of the round with 34:26 points and 73:58 goals.

With his goal in the 88th minute to make it 5-2, he marked the last goal for Kiel in the Oberliga Nord . He played a total of 21 league games in the round and scored ten goals. The North German flagship club HSV had noticed him at the latest after the 1-1 draw in Kiel on matchday 21 in front of 17,000 spectators, when he hit the equalizer in the 37th minute and he was able to assert himself excellently in the duels against Jürgen Kurbjuhn . Boyens signed a licensed player contract with Hamburger SV for the 1963/64 round.

Hamburger SV, 1963 to 1965

Before the start of the new Bundesliga was fired, the DFB Cup was played in the summer of 1963 . The new man from Kiel played in the games against 1. FC Saarbrücken, in the semifinals at Wuppertaler SV and in the final on August 14 in Hanover against the reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund . In Wuppertal he scored the 1-0 winning goal for his new team in front of 35,000 spectators in the stadium at the Zoo . Two weeks before the start of the Bundesliga, the Westphalians were considered favorites in the final, they were trusted to be able to achieve the double. With three goals from national center forward Uwe Seeler , the trophy was brought to Rothenbaum.

The lightning-fast winger then also belongs to the group of players who got the newly installed Bundesliga up and running on August 24, 1963. With the attacking line-up Boyens, Peter Wulf , Uwe Seeler, Ernst Kreuz and Gert Dörfel - as in the cup final - HSV coach Martin Wilke went into the debut game at Preußen Münster . With a 1-1 draw, the Hanseatic League won the first point. After four match days, HSV was able to show excellent 7: 1 points and seemed to have made the transition from the tranquil Oberliga Nord to the single-track performance concentration of the Bundesliga. The top game took place in Cologne on November 16, 1963. The "billy goats" received the table runners-up from Hamburg as leaders with two points. After a 1: 1 half-time score, the Cologne team decided the game 4: 1 for themselves with three goals in the second half in front of 64,560 spectators, thus shaking off HSV for the first time. Four days later, Boyens and colleagues faced the difficult away game in the European Cup Winners' Cup at FC Barcelona . At Camp Nou, Hamburg's defenders Foncho, Eladio, Segarra and Olivella scored a 4-4 draw and the second leg ended 0-0 in Hamburg on December 11, 1963. Since the number of away goals scored were not yet counted in this competition, on December 18, 1963 - HSV had ended the preliminary round with a 2: 3 defeat at 1. FC Nürnberg on December 14 - a playoff against FC in Lausanne Barcelona. In this game, too, they relied on the fast man from Kiel in Hamburg and actually won the game with 3-2 goals. In the half-time break, the players went with a goalless 0-0. The 2-1 lead by Kocsis transformed Uwe Seeler with two goals in the 64th and 83rd minute of the game in a 3-2 success. In the second half of the season, the Rothosen could not repeat the performance of the first half of the season in the Bundesliga. The first leg of the quarter-finals of the European Cup against the French cup winner Olympique Lyon on March 4, 1964 ended in a 1-1 draw in the Volksparkstadion. Three days later, however, the HSV and Boyens experienced a complete slump at TSV 1860 Munich . In front of 40,000 spectators, the Merkel troop won the game against the tired Hamburgers with 9-2 goals. When Lyon was able to decide the second leg on March 18 with two hits from center forward Nestor Combin , Boyens paused when HSV failed in the European Cup. On the final day of the first Bundesliga season, 1963/64, he belonged to the HSV-Elf on May 9, 1964, which ended the round with a 2-2 draw against 1. FC Nürnberg as sixth in the table. Boyens had played 23 of 30 league games and scored three goals.

On October 10, 1964, the right winger was used in the 2-1 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt for the third time in the 1964/65 series for HSV under coach Georg Gawliczek . Two days before his 22nd birthday, nobody suspected that this would be his last game in the Bundesliga. A protracted injury prevented Fritz Boyens from continuing his career over the next few months. After 26 Bundesliga games, he ended his athletic career in the summer of 1965.
