Fritz Szepan


A better Kuzorra?
* 2 September 1907 - † 14 December 1974
Fritz Szepan and Ernst Kuzorra - these two names are firmly associated with FC Schalke 04's most successful period. Szepan even surpassed Kuzorra in some respects during these years. He played in more finals than his brother-in-law (Szepan was married to Kuzorra's sister Elise) and also scored more goals with his 55 goals. Today, Szepan is not as present around Berger Feld as Kuzorra. The reasons for this were not on the pitch (click here for the story). As the director of Schalke's play, his contribution to the great era of the miners cannot be denied.
