Peter Lihl

Peter Lihl (born October 15, 1939 , † December 19, 2011 in Munich ) was a German football player. He played in the major league for TSV 1860 Munich .

Career

The half-forward won Bavarian youth championship with the Löwen in 1958 and, like Manfred Wagner, has been a member of the TSV 1860 league team since the 1958/59 season. He made his debut in the Löwen league team under coach Hans Hipp on August 17, 1958, alongside Kurt Mondschein , Johann Auernhammer and Rudolf Kölbl in a 3: 3 win against 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 . In this game he also scored his first league goal in the 61st minute. He played 41 games in the league until 1961 in which he scored 18 goals. In the friendly against Manchester United on May 17, 1960 in New York, he suffered a serious knee injury, which is why he later had to be declared a sports disabled. He played his last game in the league on January 29, 1961 in the 2-6 defeat against Bayern Munich . When the new coach Max Merkel began a successful era for the "Blauen" from the 1961/62 season, he was no longer a player due to the consequences of his injuries and therefore did not experience the start of the Bundesliga from the 1963 season / 64.

On December 19, 2011, he died of cancer. He left a wife and two daughters.
