Career

Otto Garhofer played soccer in the Swabian amateur area at the Leonberger district club TSV Höfingen and in 1964 switched to the Stuttgarter Kickers , who played in the second-rate Regionalliga Süd . The offensive player made his debut on August 9, 1964 in a 2-0 home win against Freiburg FC in the Regionalliga. Kickers coach Hans Eberle had Garhofer compete in the storm center. On the sixth round match day, September 2nd, the Kickers met the later superior champions and Bundesliga promoted FC Bayern Munich. The Munich team won the home game 2-0 and Garhofer and colleagues got to know the class of Sepp Maier , Adolf Kunstwadl , Peter Kupferschmidt , Werner Olk , Karl-Heinz Borutta , Rudolf Nafziger , Franz Beckenbauer and Rainer Ohlhauser . In the home game against Bayern, which was lost 6-1, Garhofer did not play.
