"Football god" calls it quits
Former ÖFB team player ends his career
Over and out: at the age of 38, Christoph Saurer is hanging up his soccer boots. As SC Pinkafeld, his current club, announced, the former ÖFB team player will play for the last time on Saturday.
"A soccer god is leaving the stage," wrote SC Pinkafeld (Burgenlandliga) on social media. "Christoph Saurer will make his last appearance for SC HERZ Pinkafeld on Saturday in the home match against Bad Sauerbrunn."
Saurer, who learned to play football at Wiener Austria, experienced his heyday at LASK. He played for the Linz club from 2007 to 2010. He played his only international match for red-white-red in the 2-0 defeat against Sweden on February 11, 2009.
He was then under contract with Rapid, Wiener Neustadt and Wacker Innsbruck. He has played for SC Pinkafeld since 2017. The midfielder played a total of 239 games for the fourth-division club, scoring 99 goals in the process.
"Passion will always burn"
"When I first laced up my soccer boots many, many years ago, I never thought this day would come. Every step, every goal, every game has made me the player and person I am today," says Saurer. "Even though this chapter is now closing, the passion for soccer will always burn within me."
