Karl Adam (4 February 1924 – 9 July 1999) was a German
Life
Adam began his career in
.He began to play for Kaiserslautern, displacing Willi Hoelz at the first opportunity he got at the beginning of the 1950–51 season. However, he started making mistakes at the end of the season, compounded further by problems in the defence. Adam infuriated the Koblenz board and was only able to appear in one game in the season. Following a good result on the last day of the season, Adam was thrust immediately into the Germany national team. He made his debut in a 2–0 victory on 21 November 1951 against Turkey in Istanbul, and continued to make two more appearances in international victories against Luxembourg and Ireland, before new goalkeepers came to the front of competition.
Adam finished his football career in 1955 after a recurring knee injury stopped him from playing.
