Life and Activities
Klaus-Dieter Ziloff was born in the East Prussian city of Tilsit . At the end of World War II, his family moved from East Prussia to Kiel, where young Klaus-Dieter enthusiastically became involved in boxing. But then his family moved to the suburb of Stuttgart, where, after visiting the matches of the local team, Ziloff fell ill with football and abandoned boxing. In October 1960, he played his first game for Stuttgart in Oberlig. Soon he became the main, indispensable player, connecting all the links in the team. Physically strong, well-equipped technically, Ziloff came to the attention of the coach of the German national team, who caused the player in 1964 to a friendly game against Finland in Helsinki. The following year, Ziloff got a stable place in the national team, several times hitting rivals' gates with long-range shots. However, in the 1965/1966 season, Ziloff lost a starting place in the national team due to big competition, which he managed to return only after the 1970 World Cup. This was facilitated by the successful international game Ziloff in the club - Möngegladbad Borussia. In 1969, Ziloff moved from Stuttgart to Borussia Monchengladbach. The coach of this club intended to thoroughly strengthen the defensive line of his young team, since he had a very strong line of attack and hoped to spend a good season in the long and difficult German championship. Ziloff came to court in a new team. With enhanced defense, Borussia managed to win two championships in the Bundesliga in a row - the seasons 1969/70 and 1970/1971. Klaus-Dieter Ziloff was one of the most important stars of the team, which earned him a return to the national team, which took place in April 1970 against Romania. But during 1971 it became clear that Franz Beckenbauer was the strongest option for this position in the national team, so Ziloff had to give up his place in the national team. For Borussia, Ziloff played until 1974, then moved to Alemania, which he played in 1974-1976. Finished his professional football career in 1977. After the end of the gaming activities Ziloff worked as a sports director in one of the departments of the company "Mercedes-Benz". Player died in December 2011.
