Player career

societies

Adolescence

Grosser started playing soccer at FC Neuhofen and continued in the soccer department of MTV Munich before moving to the youth department of FC Bayern Munich in 1956 . A year later, the move paid off as he matured into a youth national player and - in 1958, moved up to the first team.

FC Bayern Munich

In his inaugural season in the senior sector, he quickly developed into a source of ideas with qualifications that were characterized by brilliant ability to combine. He completed 24 of 30 league games in the Oberliga Süd , the highest German division at the time, and achieved a good rate with 15 goals, which he managed to surpass with 18 goals in 27 league games in the following season .

After three more seasons, in which he played 83 games and scored 32 goals, he left Bayern at the end of the season 1962/63 ; the temptation was too great not to play in the top division, newly founded in 1963 , the Bundesliga .

Compared to FC Bayern Munich, the South German champions from 1963 , the city and league rivals TSV 1860 Munich , were accepted into this.

TSV 1860 Munich

At the start of the season on August 24, 1963, in the 1-1 draw in the home game against Eintracht Braunschweig , he was part of the starting line-up and shone as a template for the opening goal scored by Rudolf Brunnenmeier in the 17th minute.

He scored his first two Bundesliga goals on August 31, 1963 (2nd matchday) in a 3: 3 draw in the away game against Borussia Dortmund with the 2-2 equalizer in the 49th and 3-2 lead in the 67th Minute.

Under the Austrian coach Max Merkel , he experienced numerous successes with the team in the following seasons. The highlight is likely to have been the entry into the 1965 final of the European Cup Winners' Cup against West Ham United with Bobby Moore , Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst at London's Wembley Stadium .

Despite the individual skills of the players Rudolf Brunnenmeier, Friedhelm Konietzka , Alfred Heiß , Hans Küppers and Hans Rebele , the attacking game of the "Sechzger" profited decisively from the ideas and the ability to combine Peter Grosser. By the end of the season 1968/69 he completed 130 first division games for the "Lions", in which he scored 49 goals.

SV Austria Salzburg

After eleven years as a footballer in Germany, he moved to Austria for the Bundesliga club SV Austria Salzburg , for whom he played 164 first division games and scored 32 goals by the end of his career in 1975.

National team

He also played his first international match as a player at FC Bayern Munich, where he moved to the youth division in 1956 . He took part in the youth tournament , which was held for the fifth time by UEFA , and made his debut on April 18, 1957 in Madrid in a 1-1 draw in the third group match against Spain alongside Karl-Heinz Schnellinger . In the same year he also made his debut in the amateur national team , which won 3-2 against England on October 12 in the London borough of Ilford . On May 4 and 7, 1958, he played two more missions in this national team. In Le Mans he lost with the team 2-4 against France and in Gelsenkirchen he scored his first international goal in a 5-1 win against Curaçao .

On October 22, 1958 he was considered by national coach Sepp Herberger for the B national team and used in Karlsruhe in the 1-0 win against the selection of Austria; so also on November 8, 1959 in Saarbrücken in the 2-1 victory against the selection of Hungary.

To international duty in the senior team , it was not enough. The strict Herr von Hohensachsen complained about the lack of constancy in Grosser's performance. "I could always use someone like him, but you never know when he's in shape." Herberger is said to have said about Grosser.

After Grosser (meanwhile a TSV 1860 Munich player) also played another B international game under Herberger's successor Helmut Schön , which was won 3-0 against the Soviet Union on September 1, 1965 in Cologne , he came to the decisive one World Cup qualifier on September 26, 1965 in Stockholm , in a 2-1 win over Sweden , for his first A international match. In the end, it was he who gave the template - which was used by Uwe Seeler for the 2-1 winner - and was thus able to confirm the trust that had been given. With Franz Beckenbauer , another Munich player made his successful debut in the senior national team that day . His second, at the same time last international match for this national team, he played on May 7, 1966, just before the 1966 World Cup in England , in a 2-0 win against Northern Ireland in Belfast . To his personal disappointment, but also to the incomprehension of many football experts, he was not nominated for this tournament.

Coaching career

From 1974 to 1982 he was a youth coach at Munich TSV Forstenried , where he was able to pass on his skills to his son and the young players he supervised. More than half a dozen of his protégés from TSV Forstenried followed him to SpVgg Unterhaching at the age of 18.

From 1977 to 1987 he looked after the SpVgg Unterhaching , which he led from the district class to the third-class amateur league in Bavaria . At the end of the 1992/93 season he returned to the Unterhachinger coaching bench. As the successor to Rainer Adrion , he should secure the club a place in the southern season of the second Bundesliga, which is sufficient for participation in the second Bundesliga, which is again single-track in the following season. But it was only enough for 18th place in the 24th division - one place and one point behind the qualifying 17th place.

In 1987/88 he also led SV Türk Gücü Munich to the Bavarian Amateur League and in the first season there came sixth; that was also the year in which Unterhaching was promoted to the second Bundesliga for the first time.

Others

From 1990 to 2011 Peter Grosser was Vice President of SpVgg Unterhaching.

Peter Grosser's son Thomas (1965–2008) was also a professional soccer player; he died at the age of 42 in February 2008 during indoor training in Unterhaching. His second son Peter died in 1979 at the age of 19 as a result of a traffic accident.
