Heinz Strehl (20 July 1938 – 11 August 1986) was a Germanfootballer who played as aforward.
ABundesliga title-winner with1. FC Nürnberg in 1968, Heinz Strehl was one of the proven goalscorers in West Germany in the 1960s and able to cap hisWest Germany debut againstYugoslavia on 30 September 1962, with ahat-trick in between the 23rd and the 62nd minute. An effort that still lists Strehl among the fastest fifteen hat-trick outputs in the West Germany national team's football history. Thanks to Strehl's goals West Germany came out 3–2 winner inZagreb that day.
Beforehand, Strehl had already been part ofSepp Herberger's squad at the1962 FIFA World Cup, not making any appearance. He added a fourth goal to his West German tally in spring 1965 againstCyprus (5–0) in a World Cup qualifier that remained his final match forWest Germany.
Nominally acentre forward, Strehl's international career was hindered byUwe Seeler, who played in the same position, which meant that Strehl would only get first team action when Seeler was not available. As a player, he was resilient and great at heading but also technically sound. Often he was used as aninside forward due to his good passing skills and vision.[2] Apart from winning theBundesliga in 1968, Strehl also won theWest German football championship in 1961 and theWest German Cup in 1962.
After suffering ameniscus injury in 1970, Strehl retired from professional football. He continued to act as a player manager for FC Schwaig until 1973.[2]
Aged 48, Heinz Strehl died on 11 August 1986, ofheart failure.[2]
