His club Eintracht Frankfurt announced this on Tuesday, citing the family. The 40-time international player died on Monday as a result of a long, serious illness. Hölzenbein took a penalty in the 1974 World Cup final against the Netherlands (2-1) and thus initiated the turnaround in the final in favor of the DFB team.
Was it a penalty or a swallow? “No matter where I am, that’s always the first thing that comes up,” reported Hölzenbein, who was very annoyed by the constant confrontation with this scene for a while. “If this penalty is the only thing I remember, then that’s a shame,” said “Holz”, as he was known in Frankfurt, once. The winger scored one of his five international goals against Austria at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina – but the game in Cordoba was lost 2-3.
He played 420 Bundesliga games for Eintracht from 1967 to 1981. Hölzenbein was able to watch Frankfurt’s last title win live. The club veteran was there again at the 2022 Europa League triumph under coach Oliver Glasner in Seville. It was his last big trip with Eintracht.
