from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willi Boldt (born May 9, 1928 ) was a football player in Wismar . He played with BSG Motor Wismar in 1951/52 in the GDR Oberliga , the highest football class in the GDR .

Athletic career

At the age of ten, Boldt registered with TSV Wismar in order to play organized football in the future. The Second World War interrupted his athletic career, in 1944 he was drafted into the Wehrmacht and was taken prisoner after the war. After his dismissal, his previous club was dissolved, and Boldt joined the Wismar-Süd sports community , which had the strongest football team in the port city in the post-war period. He played his first regular point games in the men's area in the 1951/52 season with the successor community of SG Süd, the company sports community (BSG) Motor Wismar . The team had just been promoted to the league and was fighting with Boldt, who was usually used as a left defender in 14 of the 36 played point games, to stay up. With just ten wins it wasn't enough at the end of the season, and BSG Motor had to relegate to the second-rate GDR league .

In the 1952/53 league season, Boldt was only a reserve player and was only used in a league game in the 1st team. In 1953/54 he played 14 of the 26 league point games and earned the nickname "iron foot" with his consistent defense game. After a renewed reserve existence in the season 1954/55 with only two league games in the 1st team, Boldt played his best season in 1956. Now nominated as a midfielder, he made 20 appearances in Wismar's 26 league games. In 1957, the 29-year-old ended in competitive sports after suffering a broken tibia and fibula in a game with the 2nd team. Later he was still active with the old men team and trained for several years with his former teammate Günter Szewierski the junior team of BSG Motor Wismar.
