Great one is gone
Champion and cup winner: Former ÖFB team kicker is dead!
Talented, fast, tricky! That was Helmut Metzler in his active time as a footballer, during which he also won championship and cup honors with SSW Innsbruck in 1974/75. Interested, knowledgeable and ultimately also a father. He remained so after the end of his career until his death on August 16.
Born in Götzis in 1945, Metzler discovered his great passion for soccer as a child. He played for Austria Lustenau, Wiener Sportklub, SW Bregenz, OGC Nice, 1. FC Nürnberg and FC Vorarlberg, among others.
In Austria's top league, Götzner scored 48 goals in 175 games. After Adi Knoll and Fritz Rafreider, he was the third team player from Vorarlberg.
What would have become of him if ...
Just as he was about to make a big career leap into the French 1st division, a broken leg put a stop to his career, which had been promising until then. His team career also came to an end after just six games. What would have become of him if this injury had not happened ...
Metzler passed on his talent to his daughter Lisa Maria, who plays in the Altach Bundesliga team. Unfortunately no longer in front of her expert father.
Helmut Metzler will be laid to rest in Götzis next Saturday (10 a.m.).
