Peter Müller (soccer player, 1946)
Peter Müller (born October 3, 1946 in Auerbach / Vogtl. ) Was a football player in the GDR upper league for SC / FC Karl-Marx-Stadt . With him he became soccer champion, he is also a 33-time junior and junior national player and was European champion with the GDR juniors in 1965.
Athletic career
Müller's football career began at BSG Wismut Auerbach in Vogtland . In the summer of 1963, at the age of almost 17, he was delegated to the region’s soccer center, SC Karl-Marx-Stadt, whose soccer section was spun off as FC Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1966. There he excelled in the junior team, so that on October 7, 1964 he played his first of a total of 18 junior internationals. In 1965 he was used for the first time in the league team of Karl-Marx-Städter. When FC Karl-Marx-Stadt surprisingly won the GDR soccer championship in 1967, the 1.71 m tall defender had been used in 20 of the 26 point games.
In the meantime, Müller had been able to gain further international experience by winning the UEFA junior tournament in 1965, to be equated with the later European Championship, and then with the first of 15 international matches in the GDR youth team (first appearance October 31, 1965). This he was able to bring in the two games of FCK in the European Cup of National Champions of the 1967/68 season. Called up in the left midfield, however, he could not prevent the two defeats 1: 3 and 1: 2 against the Belgian champions RSC Anderlecht , so that the Karl-Marx-Städter was eliminated from the European competition in the first round.
In 1969, Müller was in the final of the GDR soccer cup with FCK . This time, too, when called up as a right defender, he could not prevent another bitter defeat. His team lost 4-0 to 1. FC Magdeburg . Just as surprisingly as the FCK had become champions in 1967, it unexpectedly rose after the 1969/70 season. Müller had to spend a year in the second-rate GDR league , where he played 25 of the 30 point games, but then rose again to the top division.
Peter Müller played for FC Karl-Marx-Stadt until the end of the 1979/80 season. Afterwards he had played 268 league point games for the Karl-Marx-Städter. Subsequently, Müller, who had been trained as a qualified sports teacher while still active, took on the role of team leader at the club, which he later continued, modified as head of the licensing department, at FCK's successor Chemnitzer FC.
