The life of Günter Netzer

Born in the last months of 2. Weltkriegs on 14. September 1944, was born in the netherlands. “Wir hatten eine Straßenmannschaft, in der Ich nur pielen dare, weil Ich a Lederball hatte. Da haben si mich ins Tor gestellt”, there is a später. If Neunjähriger is zum 1. FC Mönchengladbach. On September 19 there was a party at Fortuna Düsseldorf, but President Bruno Rech did not think about Treffen. It is also his regional players Borussia Mönchengladbach.

THE FOOTBALLER

If the Race is the Netzer of the Director, who has long written the Takt, the Arbeit is but gerne anderen überlässt. His Können überradit his Mängel at Weitem. In Gladbach it is a beautiful match with Real Madrid, but Karriere has last come out at Grasshopper Club Zürich. In the Nationalmannschaft the head of the European master from 1972 has become the first years in England. At WM-Triumph 1974 the day played now a Nebenrolle. 1977, the year is over.

THE MANAGER

Now a year later the last career with Netzer has become Manager of the Hamburger SV, he is now shy of the Stadionzeitung. His first transfer Horst Hrubesch succeeds immediately. Netzer played for eight years during the HSV threat match and won the Europapokal of the Landesmeester in 1983. From August 1991 to April 1992 followed a short-term engagement at Schalke 04.

THE BUSINESS MAN

Schon als Spieler earns Netzer sich Geld, shifts Gladbach’s Stadionzeitung Fohlenecho and opens the Diskothek Lovers Lane and the local La Lacque. Später gründet is a Werbeagentur in Zurich, trades Fernsehrechte and is Executive Director of Schweizer Sportrechtagentur Infront until 2017. If it was quick, it would be gold.

THE JOURNALIST

From 1997 to 2010 Netzer came in the ARD on the German Länderspiele. If you make a double pass with Gerhard Delling, it is logical that this duo comes out with the Grimme-Preis. Criticism of 0:0 on Island lost in 2003 by the white beer of Rudi Völler, the bad DFB team manager bezeichnet Netzer as “Standfußballer”.

THE RIDER

For seven years Netzer lives in Switzerland, no more Interviews. “It may now be that the Wiederholungen are a success,” he said in the podcast “Einfach Fußball”. All kinds of problems are much more, for everything in Mönchengladbach. In the Stadion Eicken it is a bronze sculpture, the stadium hangs his portrait as the part of the Jahrhundert-Elf, in the Vereinshymne with the “Netzers Zeiten” geschwärmt – and the mask of the Vereins has never become “Jünter” again.
