Markus Münch

Born in Nußloch, West Germany, Münch played as a youth for SV Sandhausen, before joining Bayern Munich as a 17-year-old in 1990. He made his debut for the club in March 1991, as a substitute for Christian Ziege in a European Cup match against FC Porto, and added two Bundesliga appearances under Jupp Heynckes before the end of the season as Bayern finished in second place. Münch began to establish himself in the first team the following season – his first appearance came in October, after replacing Hans Pflügler in a 3–0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Eleven days later he scored his first goal, the second in the 90th minute in a 6–2 UEFA Cup loss against Danish B 1903. He played regularly during the second half of the season, finishing on fifteen league appearances in what was a disappointing season for Bayern – they finished in 10th place. Over the next two seasons Münch made a similar number of appearances, helping Bayern to a Bundesliga title in 1993–94, before leaving at the end of the season in search of first-team football, signing for Bayer Leverkusen. Münch was a regular first-team player for Leverkusen in the next two years, making over 60 appearances helping them reach the UEFA Cup semi-final in 1994–95, but the following year they were involved in a relegation battle, and were only saved through a legendary goal by Münch on the last day of the season, despite playing with a groin injury and already having planned a surgery weeks before.
