Playing for Rapid Wien
Peter Schöttel played his entire professional football career for one club: Rapid Wien. This made him a "cult hero" for the fans, meaning he was greatly admired and loved. He was also the team's captain from 1997 to 2001.
During his time with Rapid Wien, Peter helped his team win important titles. They won the Austrian league championship several times and also the Austrian Cup. He played in the final match of the 1996 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup against Paris St Germain. Even though Rapid lost that game, it was a big achievement to reach a European final. In 1999, Peter was honored by being chosen as a member of Rapid's Team of the Century. This shows how important he was to the club's history.
After he stopped playing, Peter continued to work with Rapid Wien as a coach for their amateur teams until 2006. Later, in 2007, he became a coach for Wiener Sport-Club. As a special tribute to his playing career, Rapid Wien decided to retire his squad number, 5, until the 2011 season.
