Club career
Born in Freising, Pflügler made his professional debut in 1981–82[2] with the only club he ever knew, local FC Bayern Munich. After two experimental seasons he became first-choice, scoring a total of 27 Bundesliga goals from 1983 to 1988 and playing all the matches and minutes in the 1986–87 European Cup, as the team finally finished second to FC Porto.[3]
After helping the Bavarians to five leagues and three cups, Pflügler only managed to make 14 appearances in the 1991–92 campaign, and decided to retire. However, a flood of injuries to the side in 1995 prompted a request by manager Giovanni Trapattoni which the player accepted, appearing on 8 April in a home game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern where he was also booked; even more astonishingly, he spent the entire 2001–02 with the B team in Regionalliga Süd, helping them to a final tenth place at the age of 42.[4]
International career
Pflügler earned 11 caps for the Germany national team, making his debut on 25 March 1987 in a friendly with Israel.[5] He was selected for the squad at the following year's UEFA European Championship.
Pflügler was also picked for the 1990 FIFA World Cup as Andreas Brehme's backup, playing 90 minutes of the 1–1 group-stage draw against Colombia for the eventual champions.[6]
Personal life
Pflügler is an engineer with a diploma.[7] He was also connected with Bayern's merchandising departments, where he already worked before being summoned out of retirement for the first time.[8]
Pflügler also operated Pension Pflügler, in his hometown.[9]
