Stefan Reisch (born 29 November 1941) is a German former footballer who played as a midfielder during the 1960s and 1970s. Early life. Reisch was born in Németkér, Hungary. As most of the Danube Swabians did after World War II, the Reisch family left their native Hungary. They had lived in a small village called Németkér, which means something like "German village". They were taken up in the town of Herrieden in the district of Ansbach. Reisch started his youth football in the local club TSV Herrieden. He later played for TSV Moorenbrunn and TSV Altenfurt before moving  to the youth team of 1. FC Nürnberg. Club career. Reisch began playing professionally in 1960 for the 1. FC Nürnberg. He played for the club for seven years and made over 150 appearances before joining Switzerland's Neuchâtel Xamax in 1967. In 1968, he signed for Belgian side Club Brugge where he played for two years before returning to Switzerland with Helmut Benthaus' successful FC Basel team. Soon after joining the club, he scored a goal in the 1970 Uhrencup Final, which Basel won 8–7 after penalties after a 5–5 at full time. He ended his professional career after  the 1971–72 Nationalliga A season as Basel won the Swiss League Championship. In Basel he made a total of 40 appearances, scoring a total of six goals, 21 matches (two goals) in the league and cup, 13 in the European Cup and Coppa delle Alpi (one goal), the rest in test matches. Summer 1972 saw him take up a player-manager's role at Kickers Würzburg, but he lasted just one season in charge.
