Career

In 1976 Kulka received his first professional contract with FC St. Pauli , who competed in the 2nd Bundesliga and at the end of the 1976/77 season made it to the Bundesliga . The attacking midfielder played a year in the Bundesliga, played twelve games and scored four goals, including the 2-0 goal in the surprising victory of his club in the Volksparkstadion against the “big local rivals” Hamburger SV . At this time he was invited to a viewing course by national coach Helmut Schön . Six weeks after the local derby against HSV, however, Kulka was seriously injured in the game at Eintracht Frankfurt . He tore a cruciate ligament and was declared a sports disabled person at the age of just 23 .

However, he then laced his football boots for SV Lurup and 1. SC Norderstedt until 1986 in the amateur area. He also worked full-time, initially in an office and since 1983 in a hardware store on the outskirts of Hamburg. Wolfgang Kulka is still connected to FC St. Pauli; He was there as an eyewitness in the Volkspark when the Braun-Whites again won the Bundesliga 34 years later in the Hamburger SV stadium. Nowadays (2013) he still lives in his hometown Schenefeld.
