career

Bordel was taken over from the Werder youth over the amateur team at the beginning of the Bundesliga era, 1963/64, in the licensed squad of the green-whites. The players Günter Bernard , Diethelm Ferner , Theo Klöckner and Wolfgang Schwierzke came as external newcomers to Werder, and Willi Multhaup came from the western upper league for the long-time coach in the Northern Football League, Georg Knöpfle . Surprisingly, Bremen made their debut game in the Bundesliga on August 24, 1963, in the home game against the reigning German champions Borussia Dortmund, with the final triangle Klaus Lambertz in goal and the defenders Josef Piontek and Wolfgang Bordel. Werder won the game with 3-2 goals. Multhaup also relied on Piontek and Bordel in defense in the next four games against 1. FC Nürnberg, VfB Stuttgart, 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Meidericher SV. After that, the defender had to make do with the substitute bench. On March 21, 1964, in the 2: 5 away defeat at Hertha BSC, Bordel came back to his next game in the second half of the season. This was followed by the game on April 7th in the DFB Cup against Schalke 04 (0: 2) and in the Bundesliga three more games against Karlsruher SC, 1. FC Saarbrücken and on the final day of the round his ninth Bundesliga appearance in the 2-3 defeat at 1860 Munich.

When Werder Bremen surprisingly won the championship in the 1964/65 season, the newcomer from Mönchengladbach, Horst-Dieter Höttges , acted alongside Piontek in defense and Heinz Steinmann , Helmut Jagielski and Max Lorenz formed the runner-up of the second Bundesliga champions. Only in the 2-0 win on September 5, 1964 at Eintracht Frankfurt, he was used in this round in the Bundesliga. In addition, he was still in the Werder-Elf, which surprisingly lost the DFB Cup game at Mainz 05 on January 16, 1965 with 0-1 goals. In the year the title was defended, 1965/66, only three more league games were added under the new coach Günter Brocker . Personally more meaningful for Bordel were his two appearances in the European Cup of National Champions in November 1965 against the Yugoslavian champion Partizan Belgrade . Werder lost 3-0 in Belgrade and won the home game 1-0. In his fourth year in the Bundesliga, 1966/67, he made another five league appearances. Then he joined the 1967/68 round of the promoted team in the North Regional Football League, Phoenix Lübeck .

Under coach Reinhold Ertel and alongside players like Jürgen Stars , Siegfried Beyer and Peter Nogly , he came in 1968 and 1969 with the blue-white-red eagle bearers in sixth place in the Regionalliga Nord. After the 1969/70 season - Bordel had played 83 regional league games with three goals for Phoenix from 1967 to 1970 - the ex-Bremer ended his activity on Travemünder Allee and returned to the amateur camp.
