Joachim Streich

Between 1969 and 1984, Streich earned 102 appearances for East Germany, scoring 55 goals. He was considered a member of the FIFA Century Club, but when FIFA changed regulations to no longer include games at the Olympic Games, four of his matches were removed from his official FIFA record and Streich dropped out. The German Football Association (DFB) still lists him with 102 appearances on its website. Streich was regarded as one of the best footballers from East Germany and held both the records for most appearances alongside goals scored for the national team. He took part in the 1974 FIFA World Cup, scoring two goals in four matches. During his career, Streich played 378 games in the DDR-Oberliga for F.C. Hansa Rostock and 1. FC Magdeburg, scoring a record 229 goals. This tally earned him the top scorer award four times. He also scored 17 goals in 42 European matches for Rostock (4–0) and Magdeburg (38–17). Between 1979 and 1983, he won the East German Footballer of the Year award. Streich set the all-time DDR-Oberliga record for most goals scored in a game when he netted six in 1. FC Magdeburg's 10–2 defeat of BSG Chemie Böhlen in August 1977.
