Overview
- Hamburger SV announced on Friday that Peter Nogly died after a long, serious illness and that the club and his family confirmed the news.
- Nogly was a defining figure in HSV’s 1970s golden era, winning the DFB-Pokal in 1976, the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1977, and the Bundesliga title in 1979.
- Reports give two common career tallies: 320 Bundesliga matches and 38 goals when counting league games only, and 414 competitive appearances with 52 goals when all fixtures are included.
- He was known as a 'hard but fair' defender nicknamed 'Eiche', reportedly never received a red card, captained HSV more than 120 times, and played professionally in Germany and North America before retiring.
- After his playing career Nogly remained part of HSV’s life — he was placed on the club’s Walk of Fame, voted into the 'century team' in 2012, served on the supervisory board from 2014–2017, and made All-Stars appearances as recently as 2022 — and the club says it will honor his memory while details on services have not been released.
