Six years in the Rapid youth team, three years with Lustenau in the 2nd division, five years as a Rapid defender with the title in 2008 and then another two years at Vorarlberger Austria – the football life of Jürgen Patocka (who also wore the right colors in Mattersburg wore) is green and white embossed.
Before the first duel between Rapid and Lustenau (5 p.m.) since 2000, the 45-year-old says: “Lustenau still has the euphoria of a promoted team, for them a point would be like a win. Rapid have more pressure following 2-1 in Baku – I expect a tight game.”
The trained precision mechanic, who has been producing precision parts in Vorarlberg for five years, was still responsible for the rough work in the field. And still very popular.
