Non-notable footballer who never played a fully professional game. Prod was contested because Bayern won the European Cup while he was at the club, but I don't believe this is enough to keep an article about a player whose only achievement was warming the bench.

Neutral: Whilst winning a number of medals might confer notability, he certainly never played a single minute for FC Bayern. Jared Preston (talk) 00:00, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 01:00, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is being remembered for this particular situation [1] but that is only one article. Has also been deleted in de.wikipedia [2]. --Tikiwont (talk) 08:48, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I now fixed the first link to the one article I found. --Tikiwont (talk) 21:39, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - he was involved in at least two European Cup finals, which are major sporting events. If the players on the EC articles aren't linked to, then the articles aren't complete - this is important context. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 11:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By that logic we should write an article for every player listed in a club's squad. Simply being part of a club has never been enough to be considered notable. J Mo 101 (talk) 20:00, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm wondering where he played in 1977, 1978 and 1979. Obviously, sitting on the bench of a great team from 1973-76 won't qualify under WP:ATHLETE. There's a middle ground between leaving him off of a list of players in a European Cup, and creating an article for him to be linked to-- mention him, no brackets, no blue-link, no red-link.

What he did between Bayern and Rosenheim is mentioned in above source: He became insurance merchant, because sitting on the bench of a great team from 1973-76 did not yet pay your pension either. --Tikiwont (talk) 18:08, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Delete as non-notable. Mandsford 23:16, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not having ever actually played for Bayern, he fails WP:ATHLETE. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
