Wolfram Wuttke (17 November 1961 – 1 March 2015) was a German footballer[2] who played as a midfielder.
Career[]
Club career[]
Wuttke made his Bundesliga debut in October 1979 for FC Schalke 04[1] in a 3–0 win against SV Werder Bremen. From 1981 to 1982, he played one and a half seasons for Borussia Mönchengladbach before returning to Schalke.[2] In summer 1983, he moved to Hamburger SV.[2] Günther Netzer, then Hamburg's sporting director, called him one of the greatest German football talents of all times.[1] After several disputes, Ernst Happel, Hamburg's manager, threw him out of the team in September 1985.[1] After that, he played nearly four seasons for 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Kaiserslautern canceled his contract in 1990 due to "unprofessional behaviour" and so he joined RCD Espanyol.[3] In 1992, he returned to the Bundesliga and played for 1. FC Saarbrücken but he had to end his career at the age of 31 due to a fracture of the shoulder.[1] He appeared in nearly 300 (West) German top-flight matches.[4]
International career[]
His good performance in the Bundesliga earned him four caps in the national team[5] and he was part of West Germany's squad at the UEFA Euro 1988[3] and the West German team that won the bronze medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics.[1]
Death[]
On 1 March 2015, he died due to a multisystem organ failure caused by cirrhosis.[3][1]
