RIGHT MIDFIELD / RIGHT WINGERS #50 Willy REITGASSL (1936-1988) 1 A (1 goal), Germany, Outside Right Cup finalist 1960 A quick and hard-shooting outside right and quite a dribbler on the right flank. Internationally, Reitgassl was picked as one of the players that were able to succeed Helmut Rahn on the right wing but Frankfurt's Richard Kress eventually won out.

In the young Bayern side of the 1960s he formed a very good pair of wingers with Dieter Brenninger on the left who serviced Rainer Ohlhauser and Gerd Müller, the two central forwards in Bayern’s 4-2-4 of that period. With two such goalscoring threats in the middle it was neglectable that Nafziger himself rarely threatened the goal.

In the second part of his career he played more centrally in midfield and was part of the very fluent and technical Eintracht Frankfurt team of the early-1990s which also featured Uwe Bein, Andreas Möller, Ralf Falkenmayer and Anthony Yeboah.

Originally an inside forward he quickly moved wide and later in his career went back inside to attack centrally. Typically for many wingers of the time, he was sometimes a bit too wayward but this changed as his career progressed. In the second half of his career he evolved a proness for injuries and couldn’t live up to his earlier successes.

His time in Germany was quite a success although he always carried the burden of being Germany's first ever 1 million marks import and as a result the crowds expected him to be a wondertype of player, which he could not fulfill.

Nicknamed "juggler", Scherm was unusual for an outside forward as his physicality was massive and one might have expected to see him deployed as a centre forward instead of a winger.

He almost made Germany's final squad for the 1912 Olympics for the 4 x 100 metres relay but had to eschew his participation because of a university exam. His number of caps was limited because at that time the FA officials preferred to call up many players from a few major clubs and in his club Bayern München Gablonsky was considered the only player valuable enough to play for Germany hence he was often overlooked as no Bayern block could be formed for the national team. Gablonsky's one lasting fame however is that he is Bayern's first international player.

With years going by his style became less spectacular, more workman-like and hard-running as he became more of a wide midfielder. His biggest asset throughout his career was his great pace.

Apparently Gress had a hard time getting into the French national side because his long hair was not tolerated.
