Lothar Ulsaß (9 September 1940 – 18 June 1999) was a German professional footballer who played as a midfielder or striker.{{cite web|url=http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/2bundesliga/vereine/2-bundesliga/1970-71/eintracht-braunschweig-41/13171/spieler_lothar-ulsass.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304142247/http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/2bundesliga/vereine/2-bundesliga/1970-71/eintracht-braunschweig-41/13171/spieler_lothar-ulsass.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 March 2016 | title = Lothar Ulsaß | publisher = Kicker | language = German | access-date = 12 May 2012}}
Club career
Early in his career Ulsaß was a prolific goalscorer at Arminia Hannover in the second tier Amateuroberliga Niedersachsen and later the first tier Oberliga Nord. Eventually Bundesliga side Eintracht Braunschweig took note of Ulsaß, who had already represented the West Germany under-23 and amateur national teams and was considered a major talent by the German press.{{cite book | first = Jürgen | last = Bittner | title = Deutschlands Fußball-Nationalspieler. Das Lexikon. | year = 1997 | language = German | publisher = Sportverlag | ISBN = 3-328-00749-0 | page = 506}} He was signed by Braunschweig in 1964 and went on to spend nine seasons in the Bundesliga with the club. Serving as Eintracht's playmaker, Ulsaß was one of the key players in the team's 1966–67 championship-winning season.{{cite web|url= http://espnfc.com/columns/story/_/id/1323235/uli-hesse:-brunswick---remember-the-name?cc=5739# | title = Brunswick - remember the name | publisher = espnfc.com | accessdate = 10 April 2013}}
Ulsaß was among the players involved in the 1971 Bundesliga scandal. A number of Eintracht Braunschweig players had accepted bonus payments from a third party for a win in their league game against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, which was illegal (the game eventually ended 1–1). Ulsaß received a two-year ban and a fine, but was later allowed to transfer out of Germany.{{cite web|url=https://www.welt.de/print-welt/article407296/11-Spiele-manipuliert-52-Profis-bestraft.html | title = 11 Spiele manipuliert, 52 Profis bestraft | publisher = Die Welt | language = German | accessdate = 14 April 2013}} He joined Wiener Sport-Club in Austria, where he played for four more years until he retired in 1976.{{Cite web | url = http://rsssf.com/players/ulsaszdata.html | title = Lothar Ulsaß - Matches and Goals in Bundesliga | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 28 June 2017 | accessdate = 5 July 2017 | publisher = RSSSF}}
