Wolfgang Seel

He spent 12 seasons in the Bundesliga with 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Fortuna Düsseldorf and 1. FC Saarbrücken. In the West German top-flight, the 2. Bundesliga and the Regionalliga Seel played over 550 Matches. In the 1979 DFB-Pokal Final, played on 23 June in Hanover against Hertha BSC, Seel scored the winning goal in Fortuna's 1–0 victory in the 116th minute. Seel intercepted a pass a Berlin defender had played back to his own goalkeeper, Norbert Nigbur, swerved around the lunging goaltender and scored with just four minutes to play in extra time. Under the rules in place at that time, had the game ended in a draw it would have been replayed several days later. Seel's goal earned Fortuna their first-ever Cup and made him a hero in Düsseldorf. Wolfgang Seel also scored twice in Fortuna Düsseldorf's historic 7–1 win over FC Bayern München in the 1978/79 season, one of Fortuna Düsseldorf's highest-ever victories and one of the worst defeats in FC Bayern's history.

He represented West Germany six times. His caps include a UEFA Euro 1976 qualifier against Bulgaria and five friendlies.
