50 years of championship titles
Jubilarian: “I still live from that goal today”
50 years ago, the Austria Salzburg youth team won the first Salzburg soccer championship title. Goalscorer Thomas Selner looks back with the "Krone".
July 7 marks a 50-year anniversary. In 1974, the Austria Salzburg youth team celebrated the first Austrian championship title with a 1:0 win against Austria Vienna. The goalscorer back then: Thomas Selner, who headed the Salzburg team to a celebrated victory with Walter Drachgschwandtner, who later played in the Bundesliga and died in 2007. "That was my highlight. I still live from that goal today," laughs the veteran.
His goal was broadcast on ORF during the interval of the World Cup final between Germany and the Netherlands. One of the opponents was the later Austrian international Felix Gasselich. Selner remembers: "He later moved to Ajax Amsterdam, I moved to Anif," laughs the jack-of-all-trades, who has been helping to organize the Stiegl Indoor Cup for the Salzburg Bull for many years.
There will be a fitting celebration to mark the big anniversary on Thursday. 14 team members from back then, such as Hans-Peter Berger senior and Karl Hodits, have been invited. "I'm delighted that we're all coming together. Because we won't live to see the centenary," says Selner.
