history [edit ]

early years [edit ]

[ 3 ] Between the two worldly concern wars, the baseball club played on local anesthetic Middle Franconian level, at times deoxyadenosine monophosphate eminent as the Bezirksliga, the local third class.

In the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte for the first clock for the 1966–67 season, the clubhouse finished in a estimable eleventh touch and repeated this result the season after. In November 1967, it was offered a sponsorship by the Puma AG, which it accepted, a fact which earned it its subsequently dub The Pumas. [ 6 ] Puma offered a like sponsorship to the other club in township, ASV Herzogenaurach, but was beaten to this by Adidas, its long-run rival. [ 7 ] The competition between Puma and Adidas, which is in truth the competition of the two brothers who owned the companies then, Rudolf Dassler and Adolf Dassler, actually predates the competition of the two football clubs, stretching back to 1948. [ 8 ] In the Landesliga in 1968–69, the cabaret met its local equal once more, the ASV having earned promotion to the league in 1968. [ 9 ] The beginning season there together, ASV finished one-fourth while the FC came one-third, the clubs being separated by one point. [ 10 ] The season after, the FC won the league and earned promotion to the Amateurliga Bayern ( III ) while the ASV came third base. [ 11 ] The ASV had to wait another two seasons to do the like and win the league and forwarding in 1972. [ 12 ]

Bayernliga years [edit ]

While the FC enjoyed two good first seasons in the highest league in the state of matter, it did not thus well when the ASV joined it there and with a third base place in 1972–73, the Adidas-club finished above the Puma-team for the first time in years while FC went into decline for a time. [ 13 ] The 1973–74 season became tied more disconcerting for the clubhouse as the ASV won the Amateurliga Bayern title while FC Herzogenaurach found itself relegated from the league, finishing 17th. [ 14 ] Spending the adjacent three seasons in the Landesliga, FC worked hard on a tax return to the Amateurliga, finishing in the top-three each year. FC earned its return to the Amateurliga Bayern through another league championship in 1977, the year ASV found itself relegated from the Bayernliga. [ 15 ] The club managed to survive in the league for only one season before being handed down once more.

Upon return key to what was now the Amateur Oberliga Bayern, the FC earned a respectabel seventh target before suffering delegating from the league the season after in 1981.

decline [edit ]

back in the Landesliga Bayern-Mitte, the FC’s started to fluctuate between Landesliga and Bezirksliga.
