Horst Haecks (12 August 1936 – 21 July 2010) was a German professional footballer who played as a forward for FC St. Pauli.[1]
He played for Eisenbahner TSV Altona, HEBC Hamburg and Eimsbuetteler SV as a youth player.[2] Haecks was forced to retire from professional playing at the age of 30 after persistent knee problems during the 1966–67 season.[3] He scored 161 goals in 265 official matches for FC St. Pauli.[3]
In July 1969, three years after his retirement, he made his comeback for the FC St. Pauli reserve team when it famously beat the club's first team in the NFV-Pokal, Lower Saxony's regional qualification for the DFB-Pokal.[4][5][6]
