Peter Blüher
Peter Blüher (born December 11, 1941 - May 18, 1974 ) was a soccer goalkeeper at SC Motor Jena and 1. FC Union Berlin . For both clubs he played in the GDR Oberliga , the top division of the GDR Football Association .
Athletic career
SC Motor Jena
From 1961 to 1964, Peter Blüher was the second goalkeeper at SC Motor Jena, behind the national team goalkeeper Harald Fritzsche , after he had previously guarded the goal at the small BSG Motor Süd Finsterwalde . In Jena, Blüher was only used in 13 league games. For the first time he stood in the goal of the league team on April 26, 1961, when he came on for Fritzsche in the match between Motor Jena and Lok Stendal (6: 1) in the 69th minute. After that, Blüher only played two more league games at the end of the 1961/62 season. In the 1962/63 season, in which Jena was GDR champion, Fritzsche played all league point games, so that Blüher went empty-handed. Only in July 1963 he was in two Intercup games in the Jenaer Tor. In February 1964 Fritzsche was injured, and so Blüher was used again in the top division in the remaining ten league games. He was also in the games of the eighth and quarter finals for the GDR soccer cup in 1963/64 in the Jenaer Tor. After a record of 13 league games, two GDR Cup and two Intercup games, Blüher was delegated to SC Motor Jena at the end of the 1963/64 season and had to join BSG Motor Zeiss Jena. There he played during the 1964/65 season in the third-rate district league Gera and helped the team to the district championship.
1. FC Union Berlin
At the beginning of the 1965/66 season, Blüher moved to TSC Berlin in the second-rate GDR league , where he immediately became a regular goalkeeper. The team, which was converted to 1. FC Union Berlin in the course of the season, was promoted to the league at the end of the season, in which Blüher continued to keep his regular place. In his first league season 1966/67 with 1. FC Union, he played 22 of the 26 played point games. Although only 25 years old, Blüher was replaced at the start of the 1967/68 season by Rainer Ignaczak , who was just two years younger . Blüher was only used in three league games by the end of the 1968/69 season. He played his last first division game on November 2, 1968 in the encounter between 1. FC Union and FC Vorwärts Berlin (0-2). So he came to the following Union balance: 25 league games and two GDR cup games.
Further career and early death
While he was still active, Blüher was active in the Unioner's youth department. Later he also acted as assistant coach for the 2nd Iron Team. The graduate physicist died in a motorcycle accident in the spring of 1974 at the age of 32. Before the promotion round match of his FCU against Vorwärts Stralsund on May 25, 1974, the 7,000 spectators remembered the goalkeeper who died early in a minute's silence.
