Fred Schaub (28 August 1960 – 22 April 2003) was a German football (soccer) player, best remembered for scoring the winning goal for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1980 UEFA Cup final.
The 17-year-old Schaub joined German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt at the beginning of the 1978/79 season. He stayed with the club until the winter break of the 1980/81 season. Though a promising talent, he never lived fully up to expectations, and appeared in only 21 league matches for the "Eagles", in which he scored three goals. However, his goal engraved him forever in the club's history.
In May 1980, Eintracht met domestic rivals Borussia Mönchengladbach in the all-German final of the UEFA Cup 1979/80. They lost the first leg 3-2 in Mönchengladbach. In the second leg in Frankfurt a fortnight later, the game was still deadlocked goalless when, in the 77th minute, Eintracht coach Friedel Rausch took off defender Norbert Nachtweih and replaced him with Schaub. Only four minutes later, the youngster scored what would prove to be the only goal of the match, and thus secured the only European cup in Eintracht's history.
From January 1981 until June 1983, Schaub played in the second division for SpVgg Fürth, where he scored 36 goals in 84 matches, a good enough record for Borussia Dortmund to provide him with an opportunity for a comeback in the Bundesliga. He failed to do well there, and by the time of the 83/84 winter break he had returned to the second division, this time to Hannover 96. There, he became a regular, and remained so as Hannover attained promotion to the Bundesliga in 1985. The following year, however, they were relegated back to the second division in bottom place.
Schaub moved on to another second division club, SC Freiburg, where he was a first-choice player for the next two years.
