Miroslav König

König began his career with FC Nitra in 1991 but never played any games at the club and moved to FC Spartak Trnava in 1993. He impressed during his two seasons with Spartak and was noticed by ŠK Slovan Bratislava for whom he signed in 1995. He went on to play over 100 matches for Slovan over five seasons and earned his place in the Slovak national team. In January 2000, he was signed by Swiss giants Grasshopper Club Zürich under head coach Roy Hodgson as back-up goalie for Stefan Huber. König signed a two-and-a-half-year contract. However, just six months later GC's new coach Hans-Peter Zaugg then opted for Huber and König had to look for a new club. In July 2000 FC Basel had to find a new goalkeeper in a hurry, as their first-choice keeper Pascal Zuberbühler transferred on a one-year loan to Bayer Leverkusen, and so they signed König. He joined Basel's first team during their 2000–01 season under head coach Christian Gross becoming new first choice keeper. After playing in one test game König played his domestic league debut for his new club in the home game on 29 July 2000 as Basel won 1–0 against his former club Grasshoppers. Basel joined the 2000–01 UEFA Cup in the qualifying round, advancing with a 12–1 aggregate win over Folgore from San Marino and then a 7–6 aggregate victory over Norwegian Brann to the second round. However, here they lost their goal scoring qualities and were knocked out 3–1 on aggregate by Feyenoord. König played in all six matches. The away game…
