After three years, he joined the newly promoted Rot-Weiss Essen in the Bundesliga and he became the number one in the Rückrunde but he was unable to prevent immediate relegation for the Westphalian team. He often crossed swords with Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Regional League West and gained promotion to the Bundesliga with Rot-Weiss Essen in 1969 but was relegated again two years later. He joined relegated Kickers Offenbach in 1971 and played for the club for a season in the Regional League South before spending four years in the Bundesliga following immediate promotion.
In 1975, at the age of 32, Fred Bockholt signed for Leverkusen. The Werkself had just been promoted to the second Bundesliga North after two years in the third tier. With his experiences and good performances, Fredy played a big part in us staying up. With the exception of a few games, he was the number one under the Bayer Cross from 1975 up to ending his playing career in 1981. The highlight in his time is promotion to the Bundesliga with Bayer 04 in 1979.
After hanging up his boots, he started working as a teacher of maths and sport at the mining college in Duisburg but continues with football as a coach. He becomes the reserve and goalkeeping coach in Leverkusen and that includes training me in my first two years at Leverkusen and he was very successful primarily on improving my technique as a goalkeeper. Later he went on to coach several amateur clubs such as Preußen Krefeld, Schwarz-Weiß Essen and Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. Due to his teaching, he never had the ambition to work with professional teams.
Dear Fredy, thank you for working with me and enjoy your 80th birthday. Many happy returns and stay fit and healthy. All the best!
