Guido Erhard (born October 6, 1969 in Hanau ; † February 21, 2002 in Offenbach ) was a German football player . He played in the attacking position and scored twelve goals in 67 games in the first and second Bundesliga. Erhard measured 1.82 meters and weighed 78 kg during seasons.

Erhard made his debut at Kickers Offenbach in the 1988/89 season , but initially could not prevail at the top division. Erhard only blossomed after his mentor Norbert Janzon transferred him to TSV 1860 Munich , who had just been promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga . He established himself as a noble joker and became a crowd favorite. In 1860 he experienced relegation to the Bayern League in the first season and in the two following years the march from third division to the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga season 1994/95 he scored four goals in 16 games , mostly as a substitute for Bernhard Winkler and Peter Pacult . At the beginning of the following season, however, he was pushed into the stands by the new buyers Olaf Bodden and Marek Lesniak and moved to VfL Wolfsburg in the summer of 1995 .

At that time, however, he could not prevail against the established Siegfried Reich and Sven Ratke as well as new purchase Piotr Tyszkiewicz . He canceled his contract and had to cope with the separation from his girlfriend. In the following season 1996/97 he moved to 1. FSV Mainz 05 , experienced a turbulent season and slipped into deep depression . Teammate Lars Schmidt later reported: "Once on the away trip to a second division game on the bus, [Erhard] suddenly started to list all possible suicide". Although Erhard did not have a bad season from a purely statistical point of view (23 games, four goals), he got suicidal thoughts and went to the Central Institute for Mental Health in Mannheim for seven months . Manic-depressive states were diagnosed there.

In 2000 he returned to everyday life, but then the depression escalated. Erhard died in February 2002 by suicide .
