He was great at heading the ball. He often scored goals with his head. He also set up chances for his teammates. With Hamburg, Hrubesch won the German championship three times: in 1979, 1982, and 1983. He scored 96 goals in 159 matches for the club.
In 1983, Hrubesch led his team to win the European Cup. This was a huge win against a very strong team, Juventus. After leaving Hamburg in 1983, he played for a Belgian club, Standard Liège. He then returned to Germany to play for Borussia Dortmund for one season. In total, he scored 136 goals in 224 games in the Bundesliga.
International Games

He played 21 times for West Germany and scored six goals. His last game was the 1982 FIFA World Cup final against Italy, which West Germany lost.
Hrubesch is also famous for scoring the only goal in a World Cup match against Austria. He also scored the winning penalty kick against France in the 1982 FIFA World Cup semi-final.
