Rudolf Kargus (born 15 August 1952) is a German former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Career
Born in Worms, West Germany, Kargus began playing football with boyhood club Wormatia Worms. Having joined the youth ranks of Hamburger SV in 1970, Kargus stepped up to become a Bundesliga goalkeeper for the North Germans from 1971, capturing the starting role in the goal of Hamburg in 1973. He served as the club's first-choice until Hamburg headed for a change on that position in 1980.
In his years with Hamburg he graduated into a goalkeeper as promising as reliable, known for his ability to save penalties (which earned him the Elfmetertöter nickname). He won the
After the end of his deal with Hamburg in 1980 it took him four months to sign a new deal elsewhere, joining 1. FC Nürnberg. He was in the 1. FC Nürnberg team when Nuremberg was relegated to the 2. Bundesliga in 1984, going on for them in the lower division until Bundesliga side Karlsruher SC snapped him up in December 1984. He had tough luck in this change of clubs since Karlsruher SC could not avoid relegation to the 2. Bundesliga in the remainder of the season and, so, he had to return to playing games on that level in 1985–86.
For the campaign of 1986–87 he returned to the Bundesliga with a move to Fortuna Düsseldorf, but experienced another relegation from Bundesliga with them then. Following Düsseldorf's relegation the then well-travelled goalkeeper signed with another Bundesliga side, 1. FC Köln. However, in his three years with the side from Cologne he was just the veteran stand-in for Köln's young first-choice Bodo Illgner and did not manage to get any Bundesliga game for his final professional club. In total, Kargus played in 408 Bundesliga matches in his career and took part 19 times for his clubs in the 2nd Bundesliga.[1]
His
After the end of his career, Kargus had several stints as coach to school kids in goalkeeping and has been active as artist painter since 1996, painting scenes of football in 2006,[3] but exclusively non-footballing themes after that. He attended an art course at the Kunstschule Blankenese before exhibiting his paintings.[4]
