Wolfgang Vöge was born in Ahlen (Westphalia) on 15 September 1955. He learned to play football at his hometown club SV Ahlen. In his first year with the senior team he scored 26 goals in the Amateur Oberliga Westphalia – and that brought him to the attention of Borussia Dortmund. BVB signed him for the start of the 1975/76 season.

Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.

The blond-haired wizard on the wing impressed from the start and he made it into the Bundesliga in his first year with Borussia. He moved under the Bayer Cross in 1980 after five successful years at BVB. He played 125 games for the Bayer team in the Bundesliga and scored 24 goals along the way. After four seasons at Leverkusen he moved on to FC Lugano in Switzerland and he ended his career there after spells with FC Winterthur and FC Zürich.
