Erwin Kostedde (born 21 May 1946) is a German former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Career[edit]

The son of a German mother and an Black American father, Kostedde was the first mixed-race player to play for West Germany,[1] and was the top scorer in the Belgian League in 1970–71 and in Ligue 1 in 1979–80. He scored 98 goals in 218 Bundesliga matches.[2]

Kostedde won his first of three caps for West Germany in 1974.[3]

Personal life[edit]

In 1990, Kostedde was accused of robbing an amusement hall, and spent six months in prison before being acquitted and receiving DM 3,000 compensation.[4][5][6]

In 1994, a fanzine at Kickers Offenbach was started and given the name 'Erwin' in Kostedde's honour. The fanzine lasted for 13 years and produced 65 editions.[5]

In 2021, Kostedde featured in Schwarze Adler [de], a documentary detailing the experiences of Black players in German professional football.[7]
