==Career==
Libuda was born in [[Dörentrup|Wendlinghausen]] near [[Lemgo]]. His tremendous skill as a [[Dribbling|dribbler]] was a major factor in [[Borussia Dortmund]]'s 1966 [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] championship<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.11freunde.de/geschichtsstunde/101306/der_10000-mark-treffer | title = Der 10000-Mark-Treffer | language = de | publisher = 11freunde | date = 2 November 2011| access-date = 2 May 2012 | first = Martin | last = Kaluza }}</ref> and the [[West Germany national football team|West Germany national team]]'s hard-won qualification and its third-place finish in the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]]. In the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final in 1966 he scored the final goal against [[Liverpool F.C.]] to earn a 2–1 extra time victory for Dortmund.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1965/intro.html | title = 1965/66: Stan the man for Dortmund | publisher = [[UEFA]] | access-date = 13 May 2012 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140510160346/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season%3D1965/intro.html | archive-date = 10 May 2014 | df = dmy-all }}</ref>

Libuda played for [[FC Schalke 04]] from 1961 until 1976 with two interruptions: from 1965 until 1968 he played for Borussia Dortmund, and 1972–73 for [[RC Strasbourg]].

Between 1963 and 1971, Libuda gained 26 caps for the West Germany national team and scored three goals.<ref name=rsssf>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/libuda-intl.html | title = Reinhard 'Stan' Libuda - International Appearances | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 8 June 2017 | access-date = 14 June 2017 | publisher = [[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]]}}</ref> In the German [[Bundesliga]] he played 264 games and scored 28 goals for FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.rsssf.org/players/libudadata.html | title = Reinhard 'Stan' Libuda - Matches and Goals in Bundesliga | first = Matthias | last = Arnhold | date = 8 June 2017 | access-date = 14 June 2017 | publisher = [[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]]}}</ref>

Later he was involved in the ''[[Bundesliga scandal (1971)|Bundesligaskandal]]'' of 1971. The shy Libuda later suffered from cancer, and died from the complications of a stroke in [[Gelsenkirchen]].

Libuda gained his nickname "Stan" after the English player [[Stanley Matthews]] who played in the same position and who was widely praised for his dribbling skills.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-reinhard-libuda-1311690.html | title = Obituary: Reinhard Libuda | language = de | work = The independent | date = 27 August 1996 | access-date = 2 May 2012 | first = Norman | last = Fox}}</ref> Fans of Schalke used a 1960s slogan of a [[German Evangelical Church Assembly]] ''Nobody can get past God'' to expand it with – ''except Stan Libuda''. The slogan is part of a musical made about Schalke.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.zeit.de/online/2007/15/bundesliga-nachspiel | title = Ist Gott ein Fußball-Fan? |trans-title=Is God a Football Supporter? | language = de | date = 6 April 2007 | access-date = 5 February 2016 | first = Christoph | last = Seils}}</ref>
