Willi Hoffmann (born March 23, 1948 in Göppingen ), often incorrectly called Wilhelm Hoffmann , is a former German football player . With FC Bayern Munich , for whom he played all of his 55 Bundesliga games and scored 14 goals, he was three times German champion between 1972 and 1974 and won the European Cup in 1973/74 . Between 1974 and 1977 he played 92 times for FC Augsburg in the 2nd Bundesliga South and scored 32 times.

Career

Up to the B-youth Hoffmann played for the FC Rechberghausen and changed as a "youth guest player" to the SV Göppingen, since there was no A-youth eleven in Rechberghausen. Hoffmann, who fluctuated between handball and football, opted for the latter and belonged to the first team of SV Göppingen for the 1966/67 season, with which he was second in the championship in the 1968/69 season in the amateur league North Württemberg . The placement entitled to participate in the games for the German Amateur Championship . In the summer of 1969, he and his team only failed in the semi-finals at the later amateur champions SC Jülich 1910 .

In the following season, 1969/70, he became North Württemberg champion with Göppingen. With him as an outstanding attacker, the club prevailed against FV 09 Weinheim , SV 03 Tübingen and SV Waldkirch. With his promotion to the Regionalliga Süd in 1970/71 , he also impressively demonstrated his outstanding offensive skills in this class - but 17th place in the table meant relegation.

FC Bayern Munich's offer to play for the 1971/72 season came at the right time and Hoffmann accepted. Hoffmann was one of the many players that Bayern hired at that time to solve the "winger problem" because Bayern played primarily via Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller , preferably with a one-two, over the middle. But none of them were particularly effective, and coach Udo Lattek finally stated with resignation that “the goal is in the middle”. He played his first game on September 18, 1971 (7th matchday) in a 1-1 draw against Arminia Bielefeld . After he also scored a goal in the 11: 1 against Dortmund, Bayern's highest victory in the Bundesliga, he scored his most important goal on the last matchday in the first Bundesliga game in the Olympic Stadium in the quasi-final against Schalke 04 . His goal to make it 3-1 in the 69th minute of the 5-1 victory brought the game practically out of reach of the Gelsenkirchen team, who then needed three goals to become champions. In total, he played 16 times in his first Bundesliga season, seven of which lasted the full 90 minutes.

The number of his games and goals in the first season he exceeded in the following season (24/9). For Bayern , he completed seven national (1 goal) and eight international (4 goals) cup games; In the preliminary round of the cup winners' competition on September 29, 1971 , he even scored twice against Škoda Plzeň - final score: 6: 1. He took part in three games when FC Bayern won the European Champions Cup. In the 4: 3 round of 16 home win over SG Dynamo Dresden , he scored the important 1: 1 equalizer against the clearly superior champions of the GDR .

After four titles in three years, Hoffmann moved to FC Augsburg in the 2nd Bundesliga South. Here, too, he played three successful years: 32 goals in 92 second division and four goals in eight DFB Cup games. FC Augsburg finished 12th, 15th and ninth in those seasons.

In 1977 Hoffmann returned as a 29-year-old to his home club as a player-coach and worked there until March 1981, before Heinz Schiller took over the coaching position. Hoffmann spent the rest of the 1980/81 season at VfL Kirchheim / Teck before joining SSV Ulm in 1846 for the next season . Hoffmann played for two years for Ulm in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg, at the end of 1983 the promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga was. Hoffmann then withdrew from higher-class football and switched to the TSB Schwäbisch Gmünd club .
