Bruno Pezzey Profile

Regarded as one of Austria's greatest defenders of all time, Pezzey started his professional career at local side FC Vorarlberg and moved to FC Wacker Innsbruck after only one season, winning two league titles and a domestic cup. A classy defender who could play as a centre-back or as a sweeper, Pezzey's superb performances for Wacker Innsbruck persuaded German side Eintracht Frankfurt to sign him in 1978. He'd goon to win the the UEFA Cup and a DFB-Pokal in his five seasons with the club. Werder Bremen signed Pezzey in 1983, but his four seasons there saw him just miss out on Bundesliga glory, finishing runner-up twice. Pezzey returned to Innsbruck in 1987, signing for Swarovski Tirol, and the silverware would return with two Austrian Bundesliga titles and an Austrian Cup triumph.
