Bundesliga 1972-73
Complete and utter domination by Bayern. However, the Bundesliga-scandal
continued to dominate the news. Attendance continued to fall, only around
16,400 per match. Previous contender Schalke collapsed under the wieght of
bans, fines and investigations of their players.
On the bottom, scrappy Oberhausen finally took the drop, not without a
whiff of scandal, but since they were crap, no punishment was needed. A
scandal of a different sort, as Braunschweig was relegated. They became
the 3rd Bundesliga champ from the 60s (1860, Nuernberg) to get relegated.
About the only bright spot was the heroic performance of newcomer
Wuppertaler SV, which had breezed through the promotion playoffs (the only
team ever to win ALL it's games) and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
