Career
[change | change source]He started with the second division club Gersthofer SV. Then he moved to Floridsdorfer AC. There he mostly played in the right-wing position in a forward line that also included national players Karl Jiszda, Robert Juranic and Josef Molzer. Tögel made a name for himself as a dangerous striker. In the middle of the 1929/30 season he had an offer from First Vienna FC and signed with them. He scored at least one goal in each of the remaining matches until the end of the season.
In May 1930 he won his first major title. Vienna won versus FK Austria 1-0 in the final of the ÖFB Cup. The following season the team won the first championship title in the club's history. Tögel was an important part of the attacking formation together with Friedrich Gschweidl, Josef Adelbrecht and Anton Brosenbauer.
The title allowed them to take part in the Mitropacup 1931. They reached the final with victories over Bocskai FC Debrecen and AS Roma. There the Döblingers met Wiener AC in the only all-Austrian final in the history of this competition. Tögel contributed a goal to the 3-2 win in the first game. Then they won 2-1 win at Hohe Warte.
1934 Tögel left Vienna and moved to the Swiss professional league. There he played for Young Fellows Zurich. In 1936 they were runner-upin the championship. In the same season they won the cup with a 2-0 win against SServette FC Genève. Tögel's goal to make it 1-0 in the first minute is still the earliest in the history of the finals of the Swiss Cup competition. In 1937 he changed clubs again. He ended his career in the French Division 2 at FC Nancy.
International
