Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
Peter progressed through the youth teams there and also made it into the national youth team. Via the Werkself amateur team, he finally broke through to the senior squad in the 1985/86 season. On 17 August 1985, he made his Bundesliga debut under coach Erich Ribbeck in a 2-0 win against FC Saarbrücken. In the following three years, ‘Zanti’, as he was called by his team-mates, made a total of 40 Bundesliga appearances for the Werkself.
Although he was denied a goal of his own, his assists and defensive stability made him a permanent fixture in the team. He also played in three DFB Pokal matches and eight UEFA Cup games. One of them on 17 September 1986 in Kalmar, Sweden. There he was in the starting eleven for the Werkself's first international appearance. Just one season later, he was part of the squad that celebrated one of the greatest successes in the club's history by winning the UEFA Cup.
In addition to playing for the Germany U21 team, Peter was also a member of the Bundeswehr national team in 1987, which reached the final of the World Military Cup in Italy. Although Germany were beaten 2-0 by the hosts Italy, second place was still a remarkable success.
After his time at Leverkusen, the right-back moved on to Hannover 96 for the 1988/89 season, where he also impressed with his calm, relaxed style of play and made 21 Bundesliga appearances. He then joined VfL Bochum, where he played a further 29 first division matches up to 1992. Zanter remained true to himself in all of his appearances: he was not a player for the headlines, but a reliable, team-orientated player.
Tragically, his career came to an abrupt end due to a serious Achilles tendon injury. Despite operations and attempts to make a comeback at lower league clubs such as SV Straelen and Hasper SV, he was unable to return to playing on a permanent basis. In 1994, Peter Zanter ended his active career with a heavy heart.
Nevertheless, he maintained his connection to football. In the years that followed, he worked as an assistant coach at several clubs, including KFC Uerdingen, Fortuna Köln, Preußen Münster, Holstein Kiel and Eintracht Braunschweig. At Braunschweig, he experienced a special moment alongside head coach Peter Vollmann: promotion to the Bundesliga 2. Peter later switched to scouting and worked for a sports agency - a field where he was able to contribute his flair for talent and his in-depth expertise.
Dear Peter, I wish you all the best for your 60th birthday! Stay healthy and celebrate.
Jacek Krzynowek was born on 15 May 1976 in Kamiensk, Poland, and grew up as a typical country boy. He spent his childhood less in structured training sessions and more on simple pitches, where he spent hours playing football with older boys. He realised early on that he had exceptional shooting power and enormous stamina. But for a long time, he didn't appreciate just how much talent he had. While others dream of a great career, professional football initially seems like a distant world to him that he only knows from television.

Carsten ‘Calle’ Ramelow was born in Berlin on 20 March 1974. He began his football career in the youth teams at Tasmania 73, Tennis Borussia, SC Siemensstadt and, last but not least, Hertha Berlin. It was here that he reached the DFB Pokal final in 1993 with the Hertha Bubis team, the amateur team at Hertha Berlin, against his future employer Bayer 04 Leverkusen. But even he was unable to prevent the Werkself's 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Ulf Kirsten.

The 1995/1996 season brought some innovations. For the first time, each player was given a squad number with his name printed on the back of the jersey. For the first time, coaches were allowed to make three substitutions and for the first time, three points are awarded for a win. And for the first time, I am no longer my team's number 1. I wear it on my back, but Dirk Heinen has taken over me in goal. So at first I sat on the bench a bit offended, but in the Rückrunde I realised I also had to make my contribution to the success of a team.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen, promoted to the Oberliga West, welcome VfL 99 Köln for the last game of a successful season. This time, the crowd of just 2,000 spectators saw more of a friendly than a championship match. Little fight, little goalmouth action and few moves in midfield to warm the hearts of the spectators. It takes a corner to give Bayer 04 the lead. Peter Röger is on hand with his head and nods home on 43 minutes for the half-time lead. When Karl-Heinz Spikofski increased the lead to 2-0 a quarter of an hour after the restart, the result was settled. The team from Cologne were able to reduce the deficit to 2-1 in the final minute, but in the end the spectators went home looking forward to the first season for a Bayer 04 team in Oberliga West 1.
