Wolfram "Wutti" Wuttke (born November 17, 1961 in Castrop-Rauxel ; † March 1, 2015 in Lünen ) was a German football player . As a striker and midfielder , he played a total of 299 games in the Bundesliga between 1979 and 1993 and scored 66 goals. He also played for Espanyol Barcelona in Spain in the early 1990s .
Wuttke had his most successful time in Germany from 1985 to 1989 as a playmaker at 1. FC Kaiserslautern , where he became known for his shots and passes with the outside of the instep . He had his greatest sporting success at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul , when he won the bronze medal with the German team. For this, he and the German team were awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf .
Life
Career as a player
Wuttke began playing football in his home town at SG Castrop-Rauxel . At the age of 15 he moved to the youth department at Schalke 04 . In 1978 he won the German championship title with the B youth team and made his debut in the professional team on September 29, 1979 in the cup game against KSV Baunatal . On October 6, he made his debut in the Bundesliga for the Knappen on the occasion of the 3-0 home win in the Parkstadion over Werder Bremen , and just two weeks later he scored his first first division goal in his second Bundesliga game. As a result, the young talent was used on an irregular basis alongside veterans like Rolf Rüssmann , Klaus Fischer and Ulrich Bittcher . In 1980, however, the club felt compelled to give up Wuttke for financial reasons.
In December 1980 Wuttke moved to league rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach . Here the attacker made his final breakthrough, and in the 1981/82 season he established himself as a regular at Borussia under coach Jupp Heynckes . In December 1982, however, he returned to Gelsenkirchen, as the re-promoted FC Schalke 04 hoped for support from him in the fight to stay relegated. Although he scored seven goals in 16 games - including a hat trick in the 5-0 win against Arminia Bielefeld on matchday 30 - the club was third from bottom of the Bundesliga but had to be relegated to Bayer Uerdingen. After a 1: 3 defeat in Uerdingen and a 1: 1 in the second leg, Schalke 04 had to relegate again.
For the 1983/84 season , Wuttke was brought to Hamburger SV by manager Günter Netzer . At the reigning champions he played alongside Dieter Schatzschneider , Jürgen Milewski and Allan Hansen in the storm. Since the team had won the European Cup in 1983 , he came on December 11, 1983 in the game for the World Cup in Tokyo against the Brazilian club Gremio Porto Alegre used. The game ended in a 2-1 defeat after extra time. Later, Wuttke often clashed with coach Ernst Happel , so he was even transferred to the DFB youth team in the 1984/85 season . In September 1985 he was finally suspended from gaming .
Under the young coach Hannes Bongartz , he started in November 1985 at 1. FC Kaiserslautern , to whom he was initially loaned. This did not use him as a striker, but let him act as a driver in midfield. With good performances Wuttke also drew attention to Franz Beckenbauer , the team boss of the DFB-Elf . In the first international match after the 1986 World Cup against Denmark in September , he was part of the squad, but was not used. In the following international match against Spain he finally got international honors. In the 2-2 draw on October 15, 1986, he came on during the half-time break for his former HSV colleague Wolfgang Rolff . Until 1988, however, he only made four appearances in the national jersey - the German midfield was well filled with players like Lothar Matthäus , Olaf Thon and Wolfgang Rolff. After all, he scored an international goal in the 3-1 win against England . Quasi as a substitute for the lack of consideration in the national team, he was nominated for the squad at the 1988 Olympic Games . With the Olympic team he won the bronze medal alongside Karl-Heinz Riedle , Frank Mill and Jürgen Klinsmann under coach Hannes Löhr . He described this medal win as the greatest success of his career.
After there had already been disputes with the coach at HSV, similar problems arose at 1. FC Kaiserslautern: In the Palatinate, there was initially a dispute with the coach Josef Stabel , before Wuttke clashed with his successor Gerd Roggensack . After several listless missions in the 1989/90 season , he was suspended by the FCK and was no longer part of the squad in the cup triumph .
Wuttke moved to Espanyol Barcelona in the Spanish Segunda División . With the club he was promoted to the Primera División . In 1992 he returned to Germany for first division promoted 1. FC Saarbrücken . Under the coach Peter Neururer , he was used in 23 games for the club before he had to end his career because of a broken shoulder.
After the playing career
After his professional career, Wuttke was briefly a player-coach at TuS Haltern . However, this engagement was unsuccessful. In 2008 Wuttke worked for the upper division club TSV Crailsheim in Baden-Württemberg . After half a year as sports director from January 2008, he was head coach from the 2008/09 season. On September 21, 2008, he was dismissed from the coaching office for failure. The team, which was completely reformed in the summer, was in seventh place in the table at this point. The Crailsheim main sponsor and soccer department head, the chocolate manufacturer Hermann Opferkuch, had claimed fifth place as the season's goal. Then Wuttke strove to work in youth or amateur football.
Private
In 2000, Wuttke contracted breast cancer , which is rare in men , but survived it. His wife divorced him; subsequently his sports shop Wolfram Wuttke Sportline, which opened in May 1994, went bankrupt . Most recently he lived in Selm . According to the picture, he received unemployment benefit II shortly before his death . Wuttke fell into a coma in February 2015 after multiple organ failure as a result of liver cirrhosis and died on March 1 in a hospital in Lünen.
His son Benjamin is a professional golf player.
Public perception
Wuttke was considered a difficult player and had arguments with almost every one of his coaches. The arguments with Jupp Heynckes , whom he nicknamed Osram , and with Ernst Happel , became famous . Günter Netzer described him on ARD as "one of the greatest German football talents of all time", but character deficits in his career have repeatedly stood in the way.
successes
Quotes
In a state of extreme excitement, Wuttke called out during an away game at FC 08 Homburg after a controversial decision by a linesman:
"You're shitting your pants in front of yourself!"
When Wuttke received a warning from 1. FC Kaiserslautern because he was seen at the Dürkheim sausage market despite being injured , he denied this on the grounds:
"I couldn't have been to a wine festival because I'm a beer drinker."
When he held his young son in his arms after a game in the 1. FC Kaiserslautern jersey, he said, referring to his coach Josef Stabel, in front of the television camera:
"I only brought my son with me so that he could see what a stupid person I am working with."
Wuttke about Ernst Happel , his trainer in Hamburg:
“For the old man I was either a magician, sausage or an ass. In the end I was almost just an ass! "
In a training game for HSV manager Günter Netzer
"Now play it right, you ass!"
