"Without airs and graces"
Sudden death! Ex-GAK striker Nessl passes away
Great sadness in Styrian soccer, especially in the sports families of Flavia Solva and GAK: Kurt Nessl, a long-time striker for the Red Jackets, has died suddenly and unexpectedly! The South Styrian was only 62 years old ...
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Nessl, whose death was made public by Flavia Solva, the club close to his heart, on Saturday, played for GAK in the Bundesliga for four seasons - including a short loan spell with DSV Alpine. In 84 games for GAK, he scored a total of 19 goals.
The attacking player, who was born on July 12, 1962, probably had his best individual year in terms of goals in 1984/85 when he netted 18 times in 22 games for second division side Flavia Solva. This accuracy then earned him a contract with Bundesliga club GAK.
"One that everyone loved!"
After his time with the Rotjacken came to an end, Nessl returned to Flavia Solva, where he once again made a real splash in the 1989/90 season, scoring 11 goals in 27 games. He later went on to play and coach in the Leibnitz area, most recently at 1. FC Leibnitz.
"Kurt was a special person. He was an idol of his time. The greatest striker that southern Styria has ever produced, with a unique instinct for goals," said Flavia Solva in an obituary on Facebook. "Without airs and graces. Someone everyone loved."
