Wolfgang Paul (footballer)

Wolfgang Paul (born 25 January 1940 in Olsberg, Province of Westphalia) is a German former football player.

Captaining Borussia Dortmund to the European Cup Winners Cup in 1966, Paul got included in Helmut Schön's West German squad for the 1966 FIFA World Cup. Despite this, the defender never played a match for West Germany and had to retire early because of the effects an injury picked up in the late 1960s had to his game.
