Bernd Hölzenbein (9 March 1946 – 15 April 2024) was a German professional footballer who played as a striker or winger.[1] He played for Eintracht Frankfurt from 1967 to 1981 and is the club's all-time Bundesliga top scorer, having tallied 160 goals in 420 league matches. At the international level, Hölzenbein was a member of the West German team that won the World Cup in 1974. He was fouled in the final against the Netherlands, which led to the Germans' equalizing penalty.[2]

Playing career

Hölzenbein in 2010

A qualified merchant, Hölzenbein debuted for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in 1967 to serve for this club until his departure in 1981. A three times German Cup winner with them in 1974, 1975 and 1981, Hölzenbein also won the UEFA Cup with Frankfurt in 1980. His output of 160 goals in his 420 Bundesliga matches is still club record achievement for Frankfurt.[3][4]

Hölzenbein joined Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the United States in 1981. He later played for Memphis Americans and Baltimore Blast in the Major Indoor Soccer League.[5]

In his international career, Hölzenbein scored five goals in forty appearances for West Germany between 1973 and 1978. He made six appearances at the 1974 World Cup finals, including the final.[6] He also played in the UEFA Euro 1976 Final where he scored the equalizing goal in a 2–2 draw against Czechoslovakia,[7] which West Germany lost on penalties. However, he was the oldest player to score in a Euro final, aged 30 years and 103 days.[8]

Death

Hölzenbein died from complications of dementia on 15 April 2024, at the age of 78.[9][10]

Lizzie Borden stated at her December 1892 inquest that she was wearing a dress made of bengaline silk on the morning she was accused of murdering her father and stepmother.[citation needed] The fabric went out of fashion when complete…
