Frank Eggeling (born 27 July 1963) is a retired German football forward.[2][3]
Football career
[edit]After playing his early football with VfL Bochum and Eintracht Braunschweig in the 1. Bundesliga, Eggeling became first choice forward for Rot-Weiss Essen and then a year later with Union Solingen in the 2. Bundesliga. In the summer of 1985 Eggeling transferred to FC Grenchen, who at that time played in the 1985–86 Nationalliga A. At the end of the season they suffered relegation, but the player remained with the club and in the following season they won the Nationalliga B championship, but missed promotion in the relegation/promotion play-offs. Eggeling was the team's second highest and the league's sixth highest goal scorer that season.[4]
Eggeling joined FC Basel's first team for their 1987–88 season under head coach Urs Siegenthaler. After playing in five test games, Eggeling played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 8 August 1987 as Basel were defeated 2–0 by Aarau.[5] He played with the club just this one season and they suffered relegation. During his time with them he played a total of 33 games for Basel scoring a total of nine goals. 20 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, one in the Swiss Cup and twelve were friendly games. He didn't score any goals in the domestic league nor in the cup, all nine were scored during the test games.[6]
Eggeling left Basel and signed for FC Emmenbrücke. Three years later he signed for AC Bellinzona. Both teams played in the second tier of Swiss football.
