In 1987 he moved on to VfB Mödling , with whose team he was relegated to the 2nd division .
In 1988 Peter Burgstaller moved to SV Austria Salzburg within the 2nd division . With the Mozart townspeople he was one of the heroes of the rise who managed to return to the 1st division in 1989. In the 1989/90 season he made his last first division appearances there. He later settled in nearby St. Lorenz and ran the Hallein event agency BSP . Peter Burgstaller was shot and killed on November 23, 2007 in a robbery on a golf course in the run-up to his visit to the draw for the qualification phase for the 2010 soccer World Cup in Durban, South Africa .
