Stefan Reisch (born November 29, 1941 in Németkér, Hungary) is a German former footballer who played as a midfielder during the 1960s and 1970s.

Childhood life

edit

As did most of the Danube Swabians after the 2nd World War, the Reisch family left their native Hungary. They had lived in a small village called Németkér, which means something like "German village". They were taken up in the town of Herrieden in the district of Ansbach. Stefan Reisch started his youth football in the local club TSV Herrieden. He later played for TSV Moorenbrunn and TSV Altenfurt before moving to the youth team of 1. FC Nuremberg.[1]

Career

edit

Reisch began playing professionally in 1960 for the 1. FC Nuremberg. He played for the club for seven years and made over 150 appearances before joining Switzerland's Neuchâtel Xamax in 1967. In 1968, he signed for Belgian side Club Brugge K.V. where he played for two years before returning to Switzerland with Helmut Benthaus' successful FC Basel team. He ended his professional career after the 1971–72 Nationalliga A season as Basel won the Swiss League Championship.

Summer 1972 saw him take up a player-manager's role at Kickers Würzburg, but he lasted just one season in charge. He was later player manager for ASV Neumarkt, Jahn Regensburg and for SpVgg Büchenbach and trainer for various amateur teams such as SpVgg Ansbach und FC Amberg.

National career

edit

He was capped nine time for the West German national team between 1962 and 1964. He made his debut on 30 September 1962, in a 3-2 win over Yugoslavia in Zagreb and played his last game in a 2-2 draw with Scotland in Hanover, on 12 May 1964.
