Jurgen Krabowski’s death: An adult left us – Game

The “kicker” was probably the culprit. When I was an elementary school student, football magazine was the most important reading before any primer. Going to school every Thursday and Monday morning passed the kiosk. After “my” first World Cup in 1974, there was an attractive offer to collect points – for Jurgen Krabowski’s star cut. I quickly put it on the wall. Enriched with a layer of waterproof and varnish, so it will stick better.

Jர்கrgen Krabovsky simply charmingly calm, ball-throwing. He was not the first player to come to mind when people think of the best team he played on home soil in 1974, although Grabowski also helped set the goal for Kert Mல்லller’s title.

In Frankfurt, Krabowski was the big playmaker. In the year of the World Cup, he and his club won the trophy. I still vividly remember Hamburger beating SV 3-1 – especially in the final in August after the World Cup. Eintracht was great in the 1970s, and the highlight of the Grabowski era is still in the former Waldstadion – Frankfurt band Tankard’s song is always played before games: “Eventually with Jürgen, we saw Eintracht with Jürgen. Black and white, that’s SBU. “

Great successes with Eintracht Frankfurt

Krabowski had great success with Indrakt – two trophy wins and the 1980 UEFA Cup. Although he did not play in the final, a leg injury ended his life. National player Krabowski long disappeared in the 1980s. His 30th birthday was also the day of the World Cup final in Munich, shortly after which he resigned – along with Wolfgang Overath, the late Kert Mல்லller and Paul Breitner, who later returned. Not so with the Helmut Show.

Prior to the 1978 World Cup, national coach Jurgen Krabowski tried to persuade him to return. Born in Wiseden he thought for a long time – then canceled.

On the national team, Krabowski played mostly right-handed. He was already on the 1966 World Cup squad, but did not play, which changed in the 1970s. He was named the tournament’s best substitute. He was part of the German team for the 1972 European Championship but did not play in the final. The 1974 World Cup did not start well for Krabowski, who lost support after a 1-0 defeat in the last group match against East Germany.

In the second round match against Sweden, only a few minutes on the pitch – but he overcame it 3: 2. Germany came back after a 0-1 lead and won 4-2. The team lined up after Krabowski arrived and played in the final against the Netherlands. “I owe everything to this game,” Jurgen Krabowski later said.

He does not have a career as a secretary

After 517 games and 151 goals, Krabowski appeared at his club – unlike his 1974 fellow world champion Bernd Holsenpine – primarily as a stadium spectator. He ended his one-week career as an interim coach in December 1977 (when he was a player). Was run by an insurance company. He does not have a career as a secretary.
Coincidentally, Rainer Bonhof cut a star in the “kicker” after Jurgen Krabowski, which I can no longer combine. I do not have the enrichment of Krabowski’s life now. But after the departure of a childhood hero, I feel the silent sadness: Jurgen Krabowski died Thursday at the age of 77.
