Innsbruck – The news of the death of Christoph Westerthaler strikes the Tyrolean soccer scene into the heart. The 53 – year – old died completely unexpectedly on Friday at Horn. Compbadion is for the family, which meant everything for Silzer. With Christoph Westerthaler, whom everyone calls Gischi, Tyrolean football loses an original, a specialist who knew football backwards, as well as an always endearing companion whose throws were not fixed but honest and contagious.
Der Silzer was one of the top scorers of the Bundesliga in the 1990s. With FC Tirol, he celebrated two league titles (1989, 1990) and cup victories (1989, 1993). In 1992, Westerthaler became top scorer. With 131 goals, he is the best Tyrolean to seventh on the list of "eternal" scorers in Austria. After an active career at FC Tirol, LASK, Steyr, Apoel Nicosia, Eintracht Frankfurt and Osnabrück, he moved to Betreuerbank. Starting as co-coach Helmut Kraft at FC Wacker Tirol and since 2011 in various positions at SV Horn. He even dared to make a detour to China
"Dear Gishi, rest in peace, our former striker, team-mate, badistant coach, and friend died suddenly and much, far too early." All the compbadion of the Wacker family is with your family, "said FC Wacker on his home page. Former teammates, friends and companions hit the news of lightning unexpectedly. " He is incredible. Two weeks ago, I played golf with him in Vienna. I want and can not believe it. The Gischi was a good friend for all these years together, "wrestled Michael Streiter for the words." We have lived so much together, laughed so often together, and suddenly comes the news that this person is no longer alive. It really hurts and everything else goes out of the way, "said FCW manager Alfred Hörtnagl, completely perplexed. "Bitter. The Gischi will miss me because he was just a relaxed Hegl. His cowardice, his malice, his positive attitude and his charisma have allowed me to experience my stay at FC Tirol and after "crying Michael Baur."
Helmut Kraft learned Christoph Westerthaler as badistant coach at FC Wacker Tirol from 2002 to 2004 to appreciate. "The news of his death has me completely spent a lot of time together and we have not lost sight of it afterwards." Wacker President Gerhard Stocker cries for "a totally positive people" , who recently watched after China's engagement in Wacker's office and positively in the future.
The Gischi is no longer in the football scene, it hurts, his kind nature in this "deal" will be lacking, his radiant laugh even more.
