Life

The offensive footballer from Bochum-Riemke started the regular football game at home with Teutonia Riemke . In 1949/50 he celebrated the district league championship with the green and whites, but took the offer of the league returning Sportfreunde Katernberg for the round in 1950/51 and moved to Essen to try his hand at the Oberliga West. In addition to players like Helmut Rahn and Heinz Kubsch , Willi Vordenbäum stormed in 1950/51 for the sports fans in the Oberliga West. He made his debut in the home stadium Am Lindenbruch on the start day of the round, August 27, 1950, in a 3-2 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Kubsch guarded the gate, Rahn stormed the right wing and the man from Riemke directed the game of the sports friends on half left. At the end of the round, he had played all 30 games and scored 12 goals for twelfth place in the table. After relegation in the 1952/53 season - Vordenbäum had again completed all 30 games and scored eleven goals on the side of right winger Kurt Carel - he followed Helmut Rahn to the Essener Hafenstrasse in the 1953/54 season.

In his first round with the team from Bergeborbeck, 1953/54 , he reached the runner-up in the west under coach Karl Hohmann . With his 16 goals in 28 league games, he immediately established himself alongside his storm colleagues Rahn, August Gottschalk , Franz Islacker and Bernhard Termath . In his second year at RWE, 1954/55, he first won the championship in the Oberliga West under the new coach Fritz Szepan and then the German championship in the finals. In the final against 1. FC Kaiserslautern he was unable to take part due to an Achilles tendon injury. As part of the championship team from 1954/55 , he completed 192 competitive games for Rot-Weiss Essen , including the only two European Cup duels in the club's history, and scored 52 goals. After the red-and-white league was relegated in 1961 with coach Willi Multhaup and teammates such as Otto Rehhagel , Adolf Steinig , Heinz Hornig , Werner Kik and Gustav Walenciak , he moved to Sportfreunde Gladbeck and graduated from the 2nd West League in 1961/62 again 17 league games in which he scored three goals for Gladbeck.

In the RWE book, von Schrepper and Wick zu Vordenbäum wrote: “His elegant, imaginative game and his wonderful goals thrilled the fans. It was not until he was 67 that he finally took off the football boots of the old men from RWE. "

Later he was an assistant coach at RWE and in 1969 took over the team shortly before the promotion round to the Bundesliga as the successor to the dismissed Kuno Klötzer . There the team around Willi “Ente” Lippens prevailed with six wins and two draws. His second short episode in the coaching chair was less successful: In 1970/71, coach Herbert Burdenski was dismissed after four defeats. Vordenbäum replaced him in the last four games of the season, all of which were lost, and RWE was the last to be relegated from the Bundesliga for the second time.

In the amateur field, Vordenbäum first trained the Tus Essen West 81, 1962/63. It followed as player-coach of the Langenberger SV (1963-69), again Tus Essen West 81 (1972-75) and the RWE Amateurs (1975-77).
