Youth and Eintracht Frankfurt, until 1976

The striker Winfried Stradt, who grew up as a youth at 1. FC Paderborn , was first called up on September 14, 1973 at the international match in Herford against Finland as a right winger in the DFB youth national team. He played a total of 17 games in this selection and also took part in the 1975 UEFA tournament in Switzerland. In the summer of 1974 he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt . He received match practice mainly through his assignments in the amateur team, which played their association games in the 1st amateur league Hessen.

On February 22, 1975, coach Dietrich Weise Stradt was first used in the Bundesliga. Together with Jürgen Grabowski and Bernd Hölzenbein he formed the Eintracht attack in the 7-1 home win against Tennis Borussia Berlin . When Stradt came on on the eighth match day of the 1976/77 round - on October 2, 1976 - in the 59th minute for left winger Egon Bihn in the Waldstadion in the 1: 3 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach by coach Hans-Dieter Roos , that was his seventh Bundesliga appearance for Eintracht Frankfurt. The 20-year-old saw no better future opportunities at Eintracht and accepted the offer of the newcomer Tennis Borussia Berlin and moved to the Spree in the fall of 1976.

Coach Rudi Gutendorf was able to storm the new attacker at the side of goal scorer Benny Wendt for the first time on match day 14, November 20, 1976 in the 1-1 draw against VfL Bochum . Stradt came on 21 missions with five hits with the "Veilchen". On the 34th match day, Tennis Borussia said goodbye to the Bundesliga with a 4-2 win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern as the penultimate. The man from Paderborn stayed with TeBe after relegation and completed 35 games with 16 goals for the team from the Mommsenstadion in the 1977/78 season in the 2nd Bundesliga. Despite the active support of Gerhard Welz , Dieter Hochheimer and Heinz-Josef Kehr , only 10th place in the table came out and Stradt, together with his team-mate Kehr, accepted the offer from Alemannia Aachen and moved to the Tivoli stadium , near the Belgian-Dutch stadium National border.

Alemannia Aachen, 1978 to 1981

For Alemannia, Tennis Borussia's new signing played 86 games with 38 goals in three rounds in the 2nd Bundesliga . He was part of the regular line-up of coach Erhard Ahmann's team and scored 23 goals in 36 appearances in his first season.

As a result of injury, Winfried Stradt was only able to play 19 games with four goals in his third season in Aachen. His last competitive game he completed the catch-up game on May 30, 1981 in the Tivoli stadium against SC Herford.
