In the 1952 Helsinki Olympic football tournament, West Germany beat Egypt 3-1 in the first round before a surprising 4-2 extra time win over Brazil in the quarter-final. They lost 1-3 to Yugoslavia in the semi-final and missed out on a medal after Sweden beat them 2-0 in the bronze medal match.
Red-haired defender and team captain Hans Eberle played for TSG 1846 Ulm (1946-53) and Stuttgarter Kickers (1953-57) in the West German Oberliga South. He won six German amateur international caps. After his playing career Eberle coached several clubs in Baden Wurttemberg and earned his living as a sports teacher and principal of his school.
