Together with Dirk Krüssenberg (goalkeeper), Günther Nasdalla, Udo Glaser and Klaus Budde , the Essen player could not prevent the 3-1 defeat on the half-left. In the youth country cup of the A-Juniors he impressed impressively in the semi-final game on October 27, 1963 in the selection of West Germany in a 2-0 win against South Germany.

From the 1964/65 season, the 1.68 m tall technician with playmaker qualities played at Eintracht Gelsenkirchen in the Ückendorfer Südpark in the Regionalliga West . Coach Werner Cornelissen used the young player alongside Bernd Becker, Heinz Banschewitz and Werner Tonk in 77 games with 12 goals from 1964 to 1967.

With the team of coach Horst Witzler he completed 24 games with five hits in the 1969/70 round and was able to occupy fifth place in the table with his teammates Rolf Bauerkämper , Rolf Kucharski , Heinz-Dieter Lömm and Heiko Mertes . President and patron Hans Löring of SC Fortuna Köln brought the attacking midfielder to Cologne in the summer of 1970 with the aim of promotion to the Bundesliga . After two rounds with places four and three, the coach Martin Luppen , who was brought in by SC Jülich in 1910, made it into the promotion round in 1972/73 with the runner-up in the Regionalliga West. Fortuna prevailed against FC St. Pauli , 1. FSV Mainz 05 , Karlsruher SC and Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin and moved into the Bundesliga. Wolfgang Glock played all eight games in the promotion round.
