Michael Bunte (born February 6, 1964 ) is a former German soccer player . The defender and Vorstopper played 54 league games at Fortuna Düsseldorf from 1983 to 1986 in the Bundesliga and was used by the DFB three times in the U-21 junior national team .

Career

Michael Bunte originally came from the youth of TSV Düsseldorf-Urdenbach, of which he joined the Fortunen-Jugend in 1979. He gained his first experience in the senior sector in the association league Niederrhein and made his debut as an amateur in the 1983/84 season in the Bundesliga. Bunte made his debut in the second half of the season on April 13, 1984, in a 6-0 away defeat at VfB Stuttgart under coach Willibert Kremer in the Bundesliga. Fortuna's defense was in front of goalkeeper Wolfgang Kleff with Libero Gerd Zewe and defenders Manfred Bockenfeld , Anton Schmidkunz and Bunte. After a good first half of the season, placed in 6th place with 21:13 points, Düsseldorf spun towards the bottom of the table in the second half and finished the round in 14th place. Bunte, the man from the amateur team, played the last seven rounds with the professionals. For the 1984/85 season he was taken over into the professional squad and the other players Dietmar Grabotin , Uwe Greiner , Jürgen Fleer and Hans Holmqvist were newly committed. When things went more and more towards the bottom of the table in the second half of the season, coach Kremer was replaced by his previous assistant and amateur coach Dieter Brei from April 15, 1985 . Bunte played 17 Bundesliga games and attacker Sven Demandt also made his first steps in the Bundesliga. The talented defender from Düsseldorf was appointed by the DFB on September 11, 1984 in Edinburgh in the international match against Scotland (1: 2) for the first time in the junior national team U-21. He was substituted on for Martin Kree during the game . A month later he represented the DFB colors in a qualifying game for the European Championship in Münster against Sweden. In the 1-0 success he formed the defensive in front of goalkeeper Raimond Aumann with Dietmar Roth , Michael Schröder and Armin Kraaz as pre-stoppers. Olaf Thon contributed the winning goal for the DFB talents. In the debut year of goalkeeper Jörg Schmadtke of the same age , 1985/86, Bunte increased his stakes to 30 league games and was thus an essential part of staying in the 14th place. His 30th and last Bundesliga appearance resulted from the 34th round matchday, April 26, 1986, in a 2-5 away defeat at Bayer Uerdingen, where he came on in the 46th minute for Andreas Keim . At the beginning of the season he had completed his third international match in the U-21 on August 27, 1985 in Moscow against the representation of the Soviet Union (1: 2) on the side of Wolfgang Funkel and Jürgen Kohler .

The reason why Bunte then joined FC Augsburg in the Bavarian amateur camp for the 1986/87 season and thus ended his career as a professional footballer at the age of 22 is not clear from the available literature.
