VfL Bochum statistics

Lameck correct VfL Bochum statistics are 518 caps and 37 goals (not 518 caps and 38 goals). The referenced RSSSF page^1. seems to be based upon the kicker magazine statistic^2. which is in conflict with the official German Football Association statistic. The discrepancy is due to the kicker magazine listing Lameck as the scorer of the first goal versus 1. FC Kaiserslautern on matchday 8 of the 1973–74 Fußball-Bundesliga season^3., while the official match report by the German Football Association lists Franz-Josef Tenhagen^4.. The German Football Association statistic is also supported by other sources^{5. and 6.}.
