Career as a player

Müller started playing football at SV Teutonia Überruhr and in 1965 moved to the youth department of Schwarz-Weiß Essen . For the 1965/66 season he moved up to the first team, for which he played as a goalkeeper in the second-rate Regionalliga West until the end of the 1970/71 season .

For the 1971/72 season he was obliged by the league competitor Wuppertaler SV , with whom he rose to the Bundesliga at the end of the season and, as a newcomer, took a highly regarded fourth place in the table . At the end of the 1974/75 season he was relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga North as a goalkeeper with the team . For the 1976/77 season he was signed by the second division club 1. FC Nürnberg , for whom he became a hero on June 9, 1978 when he received a penalty from Horst Hrubesch in the 83rd season in the relegation second leg for promotion to the Bundesliga in Essen's Georg Melches Stadium . Minute at the score of 2: 2 parried and thus secured promotion to the Bundesliga . What is remarkable is the fact that in May 1978 he had survived a serious traffic accident uninjured; his car had overturned three times on a wet road and finally came to a stop on all four wheels on a guardrail.

After the direct relegation from Nuremberg, Müller initially moved to ESV Ingolstadt-Ringsee in the 2nd Bundesliga South , but was signed by FC Bayern Munich after a month and a deployment as a substitute goalkeeper for the young Walter Junghans . In constant change (until 1982) with Junghans, Müller had to stand back due to the commitment of the Belgian world-class goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff ; he was now only used sporadically - in total he was in Bayern's goal 48 times.

There he was in the legendary Bavarian-Franconian final against 1. FC Nürnberg for the 1982 DFB Cup : After a 2-0 deficit in the meantime, he and the team won 4-2 in the end - and with it the cup. In the final at the European Champions Cup in 1982 he had against Aston Villa a 0: 1 defeat suffered. With FC Bayern Munich he was German champion in 1980 and 1981 and, as a substitute goalkeeper, German cup winner in 1984 .

He returned once more for a game as a replacement for Andreas Köpke, who was red-banned after an emergency brake, on November 1, 1986 in the goal of 1. FC Nürnberg. His team won 4: 3 against Fortuna Düsseldorf . The game attracted particular attention because not only Manfred Müller made a surprising comeback, but also played a Bundesliga game for the first time after a long break on the part of Düsseldorf's Rudi Kargus .
