Career

Gornick belonged to Werder Bremen , for the club he played as a striker in the 1941/42 season in the Lower Saxony Gauliga , in one of initially 16, later increased to 23 Gauligen at the time of National Socialism as the uniform top division in the German Reich , played point games. At the end of his premier season he emerged with the team as the winner from the group north , as well as from the final round of the Gaume Championship . Due to the success he took with his team in the final round of the German Championship and was used in four games in which he scored three goals. He made his debut on May 10, 1942 in the qualifying game at Hamborn 07 , which despite overtime with a 1-1 draw did not produce a winner. He scored his first goal in the Weserstadion in a 5-1 win in the replay a week later with the goal to make it 5-0 in the 60th minute. His other two goals were scored in the eighth and quarter-finals in the 4-1 win over Eimsbütteler SV and the 3-4 defeat against Kickers Offenbach , which meant leaving the competition. He was also used for Werder Bremen in two games in 1941 and in five games in 1942 in the competition for the Tschammer Cup, in which he scored a total of seven goals.

He then joined the Luftwaffe Sports Club Hamburg , founded on December 8, 1942 , which was accepted into the Gauliga Hamburg without qualification for the 1943/44 season . After 18 completed point games in the division consisting of ten teams, his team emerged unbeaten as Gaumeister. The military team, which consisted of so-called “anti-aircraft fighters”, was able to play through the two years of its existence in an almost unchanged formation, which is why it was unpopular with the old clubs. This also explains why the team made it through to the finals when they took part in the final round of the German Championship. Gornick played all of the finals, including the replay of the round of 16 with SpVgg 05 Wilhelmshaven , and scored four goals. The one against Dresdner SC on June 18, 1944 in the Berlin Olympiastadion in front of 70,000 spectators was lost 4-0, as was the final of the Tschammer Cup on October 31, 1943 in Stuttgart 2: 3 after extra time against First Vienna FC , in which he participated as well as in the semifinals , which was won 2-1 against the Dresdner SC.

Since the LSV Hamburg was canceled due to the war after only three match days in the 1944/45 season , Gornick joined the Hamburger SV , with whom he finally won the Gaume Championship again.

After the end of World War II Gornick put the club-related football matches at Werder Bremen - but under the name SV Green-White 1899 - continued, before the season 1946/47 for 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 in the previously existing one year Oberliga Süd changed and finished this with the team in ninth place.

He let his active football career come to an end in the 1947/48 season at the Dinslaken district club VfB Lohberg in the third-class district class Niederrhein.
