Horst Haecks (12 August 1936 – 21 July 2010) was a German professional footballer who played as a forward for FC St. Pauli.[1]


Career

In July 1969, three years after his retirement, he made his comeback for the FC St. Pauli reserve team when it famously beat the club's first team in the NFV-Pokal, Lower Saxony's regional qualification for the DFB-Pokal.[4][5][6]
