Athletic career

Hobday began his career with the English third division side FC Gillingham , before moving to the third-class German 1980 Amateur - Oberliga to TuS Schloss Neuhaus , a predecessor of today's club SC Paderborn 07 , changed. There the pre-stopper and defensive midfielder succeeded two years later as a Westphalian champion in promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga . After Hobday with his club as bottom of the table directly relegated again, he joined the still second-rate Stuttgarter Kickers .

Hobday also stayed in Stuttgart for three years before moving to Hannover 96 , relegated to the first division . Hobday succeeded in direct recovery with his new club and completed his first season in the Bundesliga on a midfield position. He then moved to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1988 , which had just won the DFB Cup .

Hobday made his debut for Eintracht in the Supercup game against reigning champions Werder Bremen and later played four games in the European Cup Winners' Cup . The championship round, on the other hand, was disappointing and Hobday was only able to keep the class with his club because they narrowly won two relegation games against third place in the 2nd division 1. FC Saarbrücken .

The following season ended prematurely for Hobday after only two appearances. In a car accident on February 14, 1989, he suffered a triple skull fracture and a bruised brain, so that he was out for his club for a long time and had to end his career in the Bundesliga for the time being after a comeback attempt against SV Waldhof Mannheim .

It was not until the 1993/94 season that he rejoined his first German club, which was now called TuS Paderborn Neuhaus . Despite winning the league championship, Hobday missed promotion with his club in the play-offs . He then joined the third-rate Arminia from Bielefeld , with whom he returned to the Bundesliga after two successes in a row. After some missions in the first half of the 1996/97 season Hobday was transferred to the second division to Rot-Weiss Essen , where he was only used sporadically in the remaining games of the season. Hobday's professional career came to an end after 275 games in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga (including 61 first division appearances) and 35 goals.

His last station as a footballer was the one year stay for the LR Ahlen in the Regionalliga West / Südwest in the amateur area before Hobday ended his career to work as a coach in the future. After he had already learned the coaching profession in England, he acquired the A license of the DFB in 1999 in order to be able to look after professional clubs. Peter Hobday currently runs a football school and a sports shop in Paderborn .
