Werner Peter (born May 25, 1950 in Sandersdorf ) is a former German soccer player.
Athletic career
National
At the age of nine, Peter began to play organized football at BSG Chemie Sandersdorf in his birthplace - first as a goalkeeper, later as a striker. In the 1965/66 season he was the top scorer of the youth team with 44 goals. At the age of 18 he switched to BSG Chemie Bitterfeld , finished his apprenticeship as a pipe fitter and played during his military service with the National People's Army for a year and a half within the army sports association Vorwärts at its location in nearby Wolfen for the local fourth-class district team.
Subsequently, at the end of 1970, he was delegated to the upper division HFC Chemie , where he was initially used in the 2nd team , which was active in the second-rate GDR league . From March 1971, the 1.72-meter-tall striker played in 255 league games in the GDR league , in which he scored 66 goals. With 19 goals in the championship and three goals in the promotion round, Werner Peter was instrumental in the immediate promotion of the first team to the East German elite league in 1973/74 . When the HFC had to leave the league again in 1984, the ex-selection striker who had risen to the master of socialist industry ended his playing career.
International
Between May 1972 and April 1978, Peter played eight international matches with the youth national team - six in the U-23 team and two in the U-21 with three goals. His goal danger for the HFC in the East German upper house led in the late 1970s to appointments to the senior national team . He made his debut at the age of 27 in March 1978 under Georg Buschner in a friendly against Switzerland . In total, he played nine full internationals, in which he scored one goal.
With the Olympic team , he won the silver medal at the Olympic football tournament in Moscow in 1980 . Peter was substituted on for Dieter Kühn in the final against Czechoslovakia a good half hour before the end, but was unable to turn the game with his teammates in the battle for gold after the ČSSR opening goal Jindřich Svobodas . With his teammates he was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in bronze in the same year .
Further career
In 1989 he returned to HFC Chemie and worked there as managing director until he had to retire from the 2nd Bundesliga (1992) after the Halleers were relegated. He then worked as a trainer, including at FSV 67 Halle.
